"...Do you want to go back?"

"My parents would be really worried about me but I think I like here better." 

"It's going to be a month before we can get you back home anyway, you don't have to make up your mind right away. --Someone made a machine that summoned mes and yous from a bunch of different worlds, I'm not sure if anyone explained that to you. And you can go back to your world in a month, or to someone else's world. And until then you can sleep here and eat as much as you want and you don't have to do anything. I speak Russian and so do the you and the me from this world."

"I'm at boarding school, if I miss a month of classes my teachers would be really mad but I'm not sure my parents would even be told. — thank you." 

"--If someone had met my Sasha when he was eleven and scared, I would want them to be kind and to try to help."

"...I can't tell whether that's about the thank you or about my teachers." 

"The thank you. I'm. Doing a selfish thing, kind of."

"Thank you anyway. You're still helping." 

"We were going to watch a bunch of Disney movies because the you who helped you find food is from a world where all the Disney movies actually happened. You can come if you want-- we can do English with Russian subtitles, I'm not sure how good the Disney Sasha is at reading."

"That sounds fun. Thank you." 

"There's the Disney you, and the you from this universe who has spider powers who goes by Spideysha, and one that comes from a universe where there are four sexes who goes by Noonlight. And there's the me from this universe who goes by Xenolev, and a sad one named Levva from a species that really really likes babies, and me me. I'm Cascadilev. --You might know a me, we seem to run into each other a lot."

"I don't think I know a you but I don't know everyone at Hogwarts and if he wasn't in my year or he wasn't in Slytherin I wouldn't see him much.' 

"Hogwarts is your school and Slytherin is--?"

"The school is divided into four houses and Slytherin is mine. It's based on something about a magic hat but I'm not sure what, they only explained in English." 

"I'm pretty mad about your school."

"....most of the students only speak English and they didn't realize I didn't speak it at all, it makes sense." 

"If you're running a school it's your job to notice that one of the kids doesn't speak the language you're teaching in!" He notices he's raising his voice. "Sorry."

He moves backwards when Lev starts raising his voice. 

"I guess. I was hiding that I didn't understand on purpose, though."

He's just.... mot going to mention Snape. 

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't yell."

"It's okay." 

He sits quietly and watches Sasha eat.

He isn't really sure how he feels about being watched but Lev's been really sweet. He eats. 

Eventually he says, "I'm not sure if you know but-- if you're the way the other Sashas are you like guys and you don't like girls and that's. Fine. Actually."

".....I don't know what you mean. I'm sorry." 

"If you're like the other Sashas you're going to get crushes on and want to date men and not women."
