It's been a few days since Laura got out the hospital, and nothing important or interesting has happened. Except for Theo and Sadde having just captured a new card, Glow, though that's debatably quite boring. Theo turns to Sadde, as though she might have the answers. "Okay, seriously, a card that glows? First it's wind, then it's a huge bird, then you have a blue lizard, there's a bloody Easter bunny, then a shadow, then a sword, and now a card that glows?"
"What happens with the things that the Twin duplicates when it's captured?"
"...I don't know? After they've been captured, you can duplicate something and keep it duplicated even when you seal them back, but not before."
He nods and texts as such to Sadde.
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.
… 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?
So Theo comes to the door, rather apprehensive about things, and opens it.
There's another person who looks remarkably like him on the other side, next to Sadde.
He also looks rather apprehensive.
"Okay, well, that's creepy," says Theo. "You look... basically exactly like me."
"Yes, he was you until a few hours ago, now how about we all go inside and start brainstorming ways of preventing his death and the deaths of whoever else the Twin may have created?"
"Yeah, disappearing when the Twin is caught – you do remember that, right? Kero told you it like… thirty minutes ago or something?"
He looks between the two of them and pauses, smiling slowly. "You know, now that I see the two of you together, my mind has suddenly gone aaaalll the way to the gutter."
