[He stays still, refusing to cross his arms. He won't be uncomfortable. She's here to help. In for a penny...]
In my memories, I died. I spent time within the life force of another being before my soul was shoved into my dying evil clone. I have memories of my first body and my new one.
[He looks away from her. This is harder to say to a stranger/acquaintance his voice lowers almost to a whisper.]
I'd be surprised if I didn't feel different after that.
[ it isn't what she meant, but the information is appreciated all the same. and she listens, intently, as she surveys shiro, before she reaches out with a hand to gingerly brush her fingers against his (good) shoulder. curious . . . ]
I am sorry that happened to you, Shiro.
[ quietly, her brow furrowed. she looks . . . puzzled. not scared, or upset, or anything. just confused. ]
But I am not the one who brought you home, and took you back again. I am not sure how this happened.
[Neither of them knows what this is about. He'd normally be suspicious but she looks so confused and Astoria has always been thus far upfront. He will trust she has no idea. He folds his arms over his chest and stares into the middle distance.
Until something about what she said sinks in. He looks at her with wide eyes.]
