"Yes, thank you. And there is worth in... expecting something good like meeting more versions of us."

"Yeah, about that. Anything interesting you can tell us about them?"

"Many things. They are gryphons, and have anime hair. And I mentioned this to your brother but not you—they don't have a Thomas."

"Well, that is their loss."

"Do they have a me? Or are they going to meet one?"

"There is as far as I know no you in my world."

Nod.

"Well, that is two strikes against the anime-gryphon non-triplets. The four of them will be so jealous of the six of us when we get together."

He smiles a bit. "Somehow I have a hard time imagining 'jealousy' will be the dominant emotion."

"Well, I will settle for awed admiration of how incredible we are."

"How magnanimous of you."

"I try. Hey, are there more of us that you know of?"

"Yes. Many more."

"Well, are you planning on sharing anything about them or something?"

"I do not know them. I know of some, but not all, and of you I know most."

"Well, at least we have fun surprises ahead. Are there more of me and Katur?"

"Yes. I'm... not entirely sure there's a finite number of us."

"You can deduce that by just how many universes Milliways has access to. But are you like, directly aware of them or something?"

"I'm aware of a few more of you and Katur, yes."

"Aw, now I feel bad about the gryphon twins. They can't get the awesomeness of me. Unless I come in younger brother?"

"I don't know enough about that. Clairvoyance is not anywhere near as clear as that."

"I guess then you wouldn't know if I come in... with good parenting?"

He shakes his head. "But... I always come with... him. It seems to change who exactly he is, in my past life he was a teacher and master, my other self has him as a father—Kaede and your Sadde do, too—I in particular don't have a him but that's because I have all my memories. He's—important to mes, somehow."

Nod. Katur hopes other versions of himself don't have his father or his older brother. "Should we be worried for your version of Sadde?"

"...I'm not sure worrying will help any. Their youth was only slightly worse than your Sadde's, and much, much better than Kaede's or mine."
