[ She can. Holds on tight. ]

Because you had a fake identity?

[doublefists]

[ nods. ]

I was and wasn't me. Had a whole background that wasn't mine, but... similar. It wasn't like that the first time.

[damp]

It's pretty disorienting. Messes with your head

[ Glances at her. ]

It kind of haunts you.

[doublefists]

... Yeah. Maybe that's what this is. Haunting.

[ deep breath. ]

Like a stain that you can't scrub out. [ she's always going to remember the girl that said yes. ]

[damp]

[ Boldly takes her hand. ]

You can't really scrub it with logic and reasoning. [ "It's not real", etc. ] Do you... wanna talk about it?

[doublefists]

It doesn't really matter to me.

[ she's okay with the hand hold, though! she likes that, and she'll hold his hand tightly. ]

If you want to hear about it, I can tell you. It won't help or hurt.

[damp]

Maybe a little.

[ At least so he knows what hurt her, and what to avoid if this place tries to weaponize those hardships again later on. ]

[doublefists]

[ a slow sigh. ]

... Went to summer camp. Met God and the Devil. Turned into monsters.

I've been told that's not new.

[damp]

... Anything goes in these kinds of things.

[ Shuffles a little closer to pat her shoulder gently with his free hand. ]

If you want help taking your mind off it too, I can try to help.
