I've been here for a few months now. It hasn't been bad so far.

[The question gives him pause. Meeting before, when there was such a high chance they weren't even from the same world? Strange. He searches his memories, but he doesn't take long.]

I don't think so. [Unless he met you during the ten years between the explosion and his return to Iwatodai, but he barely remembers any of that. It's all a blur of not caring about anything, though, so anyone he met during that time he almost certainly wasn't close to.] I don't remember ever meeting a Chou before, at least.
