[Fukuda closes his eyes, though his grip on Omi's hands tightens. He's hoping that just new contact pulls out a memory? So as long as he holds on nothing else would happen. He didn't think it would happen twice. He didn't think it was going to turn back on him!!!!]

Mm.... Me? But not really me. Inside an ID Well, I'm Brilliant Detective Anaido.
[Omi might dimly remember him muttering something about wells and cockpits and kaeru the first week, in the clone room.]

[housewolf]

[No new memories jump out right now.]

What's an ID Well?

[He has a vague memory of this, but he also didn't ask then.]

[holeful]

[He will just hold Omi's hands forever then it's fine.]

It's a sort of simulation that's used to solve murders.

[housewolf]

[He'll just allow it. There's no matching memory with a similar kind of brutality.]

I didn't know there were things like that.

Are you doing alright?

[Because that other him sure didn't seem like he was.]

[holeful]

Why wouldn't I be alright?
[Who's Anaido I don't know any Anaido, everything is fine and great. He is looking away.]

[housewolf]

I watched you, or a version of you, get shot through the head?

[holeful]

I told you, that was just a simulation.

[Everything is fine!!!!]

[housewolf]

You remember it. Just because it isn't "real" doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

[holeful]

Sure, but being shot in the head is a pretty painless way to die. Don't worry about it. I want to ask more about yours.

[housewolf]

It seems like it would be traumatic?

[But he has also. Never died.]

I don't want to talk about it.

[holeful]

You asked me a bunch of questions about mine.

[Binch.]

[housewolf]

... Fine. What do you want to know?

[holeful]

How long ago was it?

[housewolf]

I was seventeen.

[holeful]

[So five years...]

So shortly after that you became an actor... You went from being in a gang to that...?

[housewolf]

I didn't become an actor until I was 20.

[holeful]

What made you change paths like that?

[housewolf]

Being an actor was my partner's dream.

[holeful]

...


By partner, which do you mean?
[Callback to their first conversation that was actually two different conversations.]

[housewolf]

Ah... He's the person I was getting revenge for there.

[holeful]

Ah, so you decided to carry on his dream for him? How cool...

[housewolf]

You think so...?

I just hope it's helping him rest in peace.

[holeful]

Hmm... don't they always say that the dead would be happy as long as you're living well?

[housewolf]

He deserves more from me than that.

[holeful]

Like what?
