[...yup, two of us, and you're not a mirror]

[I think you're not a mirror but I'll just put out a hand and poke you gently in the forehead]

[okay, you're not a mirror]

Eiji.

[regretnooothing]

[Blinking a little and staring at the finger curiously. That at least proves we're both real.]

You aren't who I fell asleep with. [I'm not complaining in the least, but you still aren't him. looking around a little]

Where are we?

[hinooo]

[wondering now if Chiyoko-san bought a me-shaped sex doll to pacify Ankh]

[.......no, she wouldn't do that]

[Cous Coussier doesn't pull in enough money for extravagances like that]

[blinking rapidly at you]

This- this is out the back of Cous Coussier? Where I live with Ankh?

[regretnooothing]

[THAT'S-- actually I wonder if that would work to get my Ankh off my back.]

...

[Sitting up in wonder and looking around]

Really? I'm back here? My bed-swapping luck is amazing.

"my bed-swapping luck is amazing" <--- *dies*

[hinooo]

[YOU NEVER KNOW. Though it might end up with him on his back.]
[/hilarious]

You do this a lot?

[regretnooothing]

[That can be a problem he handles on his own.]

I wouldn't say I do this a lot, but it has happened. It's never happened like this before though.

[hinooo]

[yes, I'm not sure I'd be ready to see that]

...wow. It's never happened to me! Maybe we really are two different people and we just look alike?

[regretnooothing]

We can check! What's happened to you recently? Do you have Ankh? What's his status of existence?

[hinooo]

[ah, yes, good idea, now I'm eager]

I do! We fought Maki, and won. He's human.

[slow grin]

[regretnooothing]

I... [staring at you blankly] I was with you until that last part.

I fought Maki and Ankh died, but I ended up kidnapped and put in a strange, magical place. Ankh can exist there separately from Shingo, still as a Greeed though, as long as he doesn't ever leave.

[Welp, smiling again] That was fast. We've already found at what point we became different.

[hinooo]

[I'll huff out a big puff of air here, taking that in]

Yes, that's something. But -- but are you all right in there? Is Ankh?

[regretnooothing]

Well, we're all fine now. Ankh's doing fine now to-- well, Ankh have face envy, but we're all pretty much trying to ignore him and his strange jealousy.

[Thinking about it and then looking at you]

Oh. Uh. I guess I could put this like... Before, I was in a relationship with Ankh, and then someone who looks like him, his name is Kane, showed up in the space. But then I broke up with him be extenuating circumstances. Ankh doesn't like Kane because they share a face, and I'm currently rooming with Kane while Ankh is rooming with Shingo-san, but he's still being selfish and immature.

[hinooo]

Face envy? The detective's there too?

...Kane-san. Oh.

[blink blink]

That sounds really confusing!

[regretnooothing]

It is! Confusing and terrible. I can't do anything right between them.

Between us, you're significantly luckier.

[hinooo]

[impulsively grabs your arm]

Stay.

If they're all okay... stay.

[regretnooothing]

[Looking down at your hand and then to you. Not what I expected, but..]

... Okay. I'll stay.

[I know they'll be okay. That place isn't going to do anything too terrible, and Ankh and Kane can protect them better than he can right now anyway.]

[hinooo]

[inhales sharply, delightedly overwhelmed]

[have an armful of me]

[regretnooothing]

[holding you because, well your there and you look like you needed]

Is everything okay?

[hinooo]

Yes! Yes -- I'm just pleased.


[I like helping people, though I have issues with accepting it, so I don't know what the hell just happened, but I'm very happy to help you get out of that place.]

[regretnooothing]

[I'm sure we both have no idea what just happened, but I am moving past it to focus on the future]

I don't really have control on when it wants me to be there and when it doesn't, so if it randomly takes me back I'm sorry. I don't really think that it will happen though.

Will it be weird for me to be here though?

[hinooo]

Okay, I won't take it personally!

[laughing]

I'm sure it will be! But everyone will be happy, too. Ankh will have two of us to glare at.

[regretnooothing]

That's true I guess.

[Ankh will always be Ankh, I guess.]

Is it different for you now? You know, now that he's a human?

[hinooo]

Ah, some things. Many things are the same.

[unhappy little sigh]

We're dating, and it's good. But I worry about him.

[regretnooothing]

Why are you worried? Did something happen?

[I'll be sitting back in the bed comfortably now. Since I'm not going anywhere for now, might as well be comfortable while I listen]

[hinooo]

[swallowing, but if I can't talk to you, who can I talk to]

I think things are easier for him now, but harder, too. He's not driven by needing Medals. But he doesn't know how to be human, and it's... it's eating him up.
