∞ 49: After the mission [action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Turn down a few torches. We'll rest here for now.

[Albert's voice echoes as he calls out to the rest of the group to stop. It's been a steady walk away from the warehouse even though they had been told by their Malnosso co-conspirators to leave the tunnels quickly. Extinguishing several torches, as they had been every time they rested, would help keep the amount of smoke down.

He takes out one of the sunstones that Sigmund had brought along, activating it and taking a seat against one wall. He then pulls out a notebook and begins writing, keeping an eye on the others moving around in the semidarkness.

Really, the silence following their success was rather unsettling.]

If you want to try, you start over. You don't make any presumptions. A person who reappears can be very different from how you last remembered them.

You can also let them go. Dissociate from them entirely.

[pause] The latter is common when it isn't someone from your own world.

[perplexme]

[nods. Well you convinced him you know what you're talking about at least] How often does that happen though, a lot?

[chikaidestroyer]

It's not common, thankfully. But, of course, if you associate with many residents, your chances of having to deal with the situation increase.

[perplexme]

Okay, so what are the chances of like a doppleganger effect, having two of the same person from two different periods in their timeline? Has that ever happened?

[chikaidestroyer]

No, that has never happened. It almost sounds paradoxical, though I'm sure the effects could be created somehow. Perhaps through an experiment.

Are you referring to Sora and his ... shadow?

[perplexme]

It wouldn't surprise me. Though I can't imagine two of everybody running around and there are definitely people I never want two of them around.

No, because by referring to Sora and his Heartless I'd have to be referring to myself as well, in theory.
