"Well, um… it depends on the catastrophe?"

Uh, I think Kero's at home, but I'm on my way so I'll ask him when I get back?

"Sure but you don't just give up before even looking for alternative solutions. We should meet up with Theo at his place, I think," he says, and texts him that. "What should I call you, by the way?"

"I, uh… I'm not sure. You should probably just… not… so you don't get too attached."

"Oh my god you're worse than Theo. I'm not going to let you die. Let's go. And come up with a name."

"Yeah, okay," he says, starting to walk Theo's-house-wards.

"I'm not sure I actually am worse than Theo though. I mean, have you seen some of the things he's done?"

"Just—" He sighs. "I'm not going to let you die. Or the other copies, fuck, there must be other copies, mustn't there?" He texts Theo again: Do you remember who the Twin interacted with?

"Yeah. … There were a couple before I got copied."

Text response! … Uh, I think so? It tapped… three or possibly four people? I saw it tap me and three others, and it stood on someone else.

Do you remember whom?

Yeah, pretty sure. I got back and Kero just woke up.

"Kero's up," he informs not-Theo, "and I still don't have anything to call you."

Ask him what happens with the Twin's dupes once it's captured.

"I don't know? Teddy, Fred, Rob, Alex, Peter? Tyler, George, Matt? There are lots of names I could use. And I don't like half of those anyway."

"And the half you do like?

"Uh, Rob, Alex, Tyler and Matt? I'd probably pick Tyler out of them, though."

"Tyler, then. Nice to meet you, Tyler."

"Nice to meet you too, I guess," he says in response.

And then, a text! They disappear and he doesn't know if you can retrieve them. If it's been captured, then you can duplicate and keep things, but he doesn't know about before-after.

"...okay, this isn't that terrible," he says, showing Tyler the text. "There's a possibility you'll keep existing after we capture them. I wonder if we can ask them...?"

"Ask… what, the Twins?"

"Yeah."

Tyler has nothing to say to that. It would appear they will just continue to move in the direction of Theo's house.

We'll be there soon, he texts Theo.

… We? Okay, how the fuck I didn't realise this earlier I don't know but please tell me this has nothing to do with the situation at lunch?

It has something to do with the situation at lunch.

… How much to do with the situation at lunch?

It's probably better if you see it for yourself.

… Oh, is the response.

And so they continue to walk, and relatively shortly they should get to Theo's house.
