*Immediately after Yuma and Yuya are both taken to the infirmary to get treatment...

Labrys walks outside after making sure Yuya was getting taken care of. It's likely that the both of them are going to have to take time to recover, which means... She makes a sound to herself. Of disappointment, anger, and frustration.*

I'm not angry or. Anything like that. It's more.

::Stuffs his hannds into his pocket.::

When I was watching you crush the other Number Hunter, I had this strange feeling. I'm can't describe it. Like a nagging feeling in the back of my head. Like... the best thing I can think of is "Echoes of rain drops".

[tachyonparticle]

*... okay. Now she's curious.*

... Or like a memory you couldn't describe or grasp?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

::Pulls his hand out, index finger out, swinging it down.::

Exactly like that. Like a memory I've forgotten, drifting on the edge of forever. Beyond my reach. A memory that I can't remember. But it's empty. Something made of nothing. If that makes any sense.

The question I have, is why would I have that feeling? We've never met before.

[tachyonparticle]

... No. We have not. I don't... Even know your name.

What do you call yourself?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Kanzawa Koyo. It means something like "The Swamp of the Cold Wind" and "Antiquity".

[tachyonparticle]

Kanzawa...

Why do you think you're experiencing this? Do your thoughts lead you to any conclusions, when you try to focus upon it?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I'm crazy, we've met and we've both had our memories erased, the pressure of the Duel was getting to me, or the surrondings were overwhelming me.

The latter two would be the most sensible. As the first is not something I want.

[tachyonparticle]

No one enjoys considering the idea that they may be unstable. Though I would think that if you were, you would not be approaching me calmly, like this.

... There may be one other option, however...

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Which is?

::Stuffs his hand back into his pocket.::

[tachyonparticle]

... There are two of our number, who are missing. They went missing some years ago, and we don't know if they exist anymore or not.

One possible option though... is that they may have passed on their will and their power to others, in order to survive. ... Do you understand what I'm getting at?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

... I doubt that.

[tachyonparticle]

... I suppose it would be too much to hope for. I would think at the least... if they approached someone, they recipients would be aware.

It's very likely the atmosphere of the area, however, affected you. Thanks to the presence of the Legendary Numbers, the areas where they are held are warped. You very likely hold sensitivity towards that.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

But why would I have sensitivity towards them?

As far as I know, I'm a completely normal human being. ... I think. Though something strange happened with my twin brother some months ago.

[tachyonparticle]

... Your twin brother?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Kai. He's the one with the longer more wild hair and darker skin, due to having been in Southern Japan.

Anyways.

That other Number Hunter. She tried to rip out my brother's soul. Apparently it failed for some reason, from what he told me.

[tachyonparticle]

... And why exactly did she try to do that?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Apparently she thought he had one of these strange cards. "Numbers", I think?

[tachyonparticle]

And did he?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Not that we know, but her extraction equipment errored heavily trying to take what it considered to be the Number from what I remember being told.

But still, my brother and I are twins. In theory, anything that applies to him should apply to me.

[tachyonparticle]

... I see... That is very strange, to say the least.

Has your brother expressed similar reactions that what you've been having?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Yes, I think. Unlike me, he got hit harder after the event in China. Enough that it made him feel unable to go to Central America.

But if we go back to the original point: So why are we sensitive to these 'Numbers' and possibly both of us have souls that get mistaken for them?

[tachyonparticle]

I'm not certain. But...

Something tells me that you should both try to be there, for the next ones. While it might be uncomfortable for you, it will likely offer you the answers you want.

The problem is whether or not you want to know the answers.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I plan to.

Anyways, apologies for taking up your time. I'd like to know what these echoes of raindrops are, myself.

[tachyonparticle]

... It's fine. It was a question you wished to ask, and the least I can do right now is answer.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Thanks.
