[The exploding is the part that gets Trish. It's almost comical in how excessive it is. Hell, even during the summer, she heard the ones who arrived by virtue of the vortex simply melted where they stood. Which is already horrific, but almost benignly so in comparison.

Of course, Yuzu's statement can be taken a number of ways. Did she have a twin she hadn't known? That's like something out of movie, but far stranger things have happened.

So it's off that Yuzu finds it worth secrecy. Anyone would be shocked, wouldn't they?]

I would be surprised if it didn't affect you at all. Even if it was a fake, that was your face they were wearing.

[However...]

Something like this didn't happen before, did it?

[Back home, she means. Since if that were the case, it would mean Yuzu was forced to relive an old trauma.]

[songstressedout]

Ha... fortunately no, nobody's ever exploded in front of me until now.

[ Yeah, it's sort of an illogical reason to want it to be kept a secret... but she asks anyway. ]

No, it's just... it's complicated, but back home? There were three other girls who had the same face as me... and this reminded me of them.

[ She sighs. ]

Sorry, this is all pretty confusing, isn't it?

[figlia_morbida]

A little.

[Trish admits gently. If only because she's not sure of the significance of these other girls. She doesn't call them sisters, so why they looked like Yuzu is unclear.

But it does clarify why these doubles were so harrowing.]

Those other girls...did something happen to them?
