Yeah, that's him. And I wouldn't be surprised about redheads...

[He glances at him, both surprised and conflicted. He had done similar? Well, at least he had a real reason. Axel's - as far as he had known - had been only to bring him to this world. And everything after had spiraled out of control.]

You and I are a lot alike, in that. I walked a path Axel, and a lot of others, didn't want me to take. I did it anyway. I'm still paying the price of being a traitor.

[He nods.] He is. He's...what I remember, from before. I'm glad for that. I'll never tell him what he did, though.
