That's understandable. After all... [ he says this in a way that shows that it's from experience ] ... he looked and acted very similar to the other Akira-san that you knew. Right?
And I think he was sincere when he comforted me, when I was freaking out about some of my memories. And that he was trying to help. That part was true.
But moving past this... that's impossible. That was probably the biggest lie I told.
[she glances at him.]
I'm sorry, I just wanted to confess that to someone.
It's okay. I won't tell anyone, and I'm always here to talk when you need it, Takamaki-san.
And I think so, too. But... I understand, you know? What it's like. To see someone but it's not really them. And I've been on the other side of that as well, too. So if you ever want to talk about that, or anything at all, really... I'm willing to listen. To help as much as I can.
Kimihiro knows, too. There's actually... [ A pause, as he glances down, reaching towards his chest. ] Myself, and the person most important to me were copied. As clones for a certain man's purpose.

I'm also aware that in different worlds, it's possible that you might run into someone familiar. Someone that looks like someone that you've met before, but they aren't the same person.
What you should do is a choice that you have to make yourself, Takamaki-san. It's not something that I can tell you to do.
But I can tell you what I did. Even if they looked the same... they were, in the end, different people. So I always treated them as their own separate person. Because that's what they are, you know? It's kind of how you treat me and Kimihiro as different people, right? Even though we share the same existence.

But... he's benefiting from a relationship we never built. I know that now.

What's the thing I should do?

I'd hate him.

I... I don't know. I don't think I do. I don't want to have feelings like that.
