I chooseth mine own fate...

They hoped that this human had done the same. If the two of them were similar in regards to being lonely.

- One made to combat shadows, and the one that had sealed death inside of him all those years ago. It was not really comprehendible to compare the two. They were one completely different planes in Minato's mind. -

Did something just get really messed up somewhere in the universe?  Was he hallucinating? Probably not. So many questions yet there weren’t any definitive answers he could possibly think up himself. 

- It was more of a statement then a question. Would something bad happen if the two were to spend too much time near each other? While he still had absolutely no idea what was going on, Minato knew there had to be some sort of reasoning behind this. -

In the end, however, the shadow will eventually show its true colors— and the character’s. The shadow is often a representation of personal facets that a character has rejected, and brings a character further away from their “Persona”, or their “Ideal self”.

This made absolutely no sense. Did he have some long lost twin brother that he somehow forgot about in these past years? He couldn’t have. 

- Minato was quick to point out, replying in his usual steady tone. There had to be some sort of explanation, some sort of answer to this situation. Did Igor do something? For what reason, and how? No, no, he was jumping to conclusions. Still...the whole situation made no sense. -

Maybe this was one of those paradox things he saw in TV shows when he was younger? No, that wasn’t a rational idea. He pushed such a thought away and kept on thinking, staring at the other for a difference. How in the world..

- That would be a bit of a mean prank, even for the other male. This "other Minato" seemed to be just as genuinely confused as he was. No matter how hard he tried, the boy could not think of any sort of logical reasoning for this. Just what was going on? - 

Wait was he okay? He looked like he wasn’t all there.”uhm-“

- Minato was fighting to keep his eyes opening- a battle he was quickly losing. - 

- The boy questioned, trying to figure out any sort of explanation there could be for this strange phenomenon. He wasn't seeing his doppleganger, was he? -

They had begun to understand by now that they definitely were strange to others. Though, they still didn’t understand why everyone was so curious. But maybe it was just something that happened. Either way, it was… actually a nice change of pace.

- While the two did not appear to be of the same origin, Minato was still a bit wary. He did not want to be caught off guard once again- though that traitor of a chairman had been the one at fault then. - 

-If you don't do anything, they'll die. -Die..?

ask if they regretted something or wanted to do something else, ask what they were thinking when they did something, ask what they think of another canon character. ask.

"Uh… what are you exactly?" they asked, wanting answers as to what these things were.

- What a strange question, though it was entirely plausible that the other was not human and was curious to his species. The boy decided he might as well counter with his own question- they did not seem like a shadow, so he could assume they were neither human nor shadow. He was sure that if Junpei were here, the boy would jump at the chance to talk to an "alien". Or maybe he would just freak out. It all depended on if Yukari was also around. -

"Who are you...?"
