Yeah, this is what I look like. Whatever you want to say, get it off your chest now.

No kidding. And didn't even think we looked alike.

[And he's still struggling with actually saying Thanks for that, but he's not mad at Sora for that. Somehow he's happier about that.]

[destiny_key]

yeah???
so you are related to dante then???

i mean
i guessed you were related but like
i wasnt sure if it was just a coincidence lol

[naught_again]

Yeah we're related - barely.

[Even that is a strange thing to have to admit, but it's better than the other options he figures.]

[destiny_key]

okay
so you guys are like cousins or something???
thats cool!!!

actually its kinda funny you look so much alike
even though youre not brothers
i dont even look exactly alike to my twin brother XD

[naught_again]

Look, yes technically we're twins.

But... How can you call someone your brother when you didn't grow up with them? Huh?

[destiny_key]

oh
so wait
you ARE brothers???
im confused



also
i spent years apart from my brother
but hes still my brother and i love him
not to be too cheesy or anything but siblings have a special bond i guess
especially twins

so like
how do you know unless you try i guess???

[naught_again]

You're right, that's too cheesy.

2/2

[naught_again]

You may have spent years apart, but you grew up knowing who he was, right? Mine's a stranger. Someone may as well have told me it was you and me born and separated before I could remember, instead of Dante. I wouldn't know the difference.

[destiny_key]

well
i guess idk then

like i said
i think you should at least try

even if you guys decide not to try to be family
then you both at least deserve to know who each other is

[naught_again]

He already did know I exist.
He didn't reach out to me all these years.

[Hence a lot of his bitter feelings now.]

[destiny_key]

oh

[Sora doesn't really know what to say to that, so there's a nice pause between his messages. He's not exactly friends with Dante or anything, but he doesn't think he's necessarily a terrible person, either. There's a lot of ways he could go here.]

well
maybe its just something you owe to yourself then
to at least try

[naught_again]

Let me guess - because you love your brother SO MUCH and there's some hole only a brother can fill?
That's a one-way ticket to getting permanently compared to one another.
Mom and I were doing just fine until she brought all this up.

[destiny_key]

[It's another long moment until Sora's next text, Dylan's words having struck something in him. But still...]

actually
i was gonna say
you owe it to yourself because if you dont try
then youll wonder for the rest of your life what would have happened

the worst that can happen if you try is nothing
but if you dont try you might regret it

1/2

[naught_again]

[That's enough to make Dylan likewise pause and contemplate Sora's point. It's so much of a good point that he can't even sit here and argue that Sora being more or less a stranger to Dylan and not (much of a??) friend to Dante... even that doesn't matter.

There's something about the word regret and what would have happened that make him pause.]

2/2

[naught_again]

The worst that can happen would be nothing *and* wasting my time.
But I guess I've got nothing but time now.

[So Sora's words made their impact after all.]

[destiny_key]

so youll talk to him???

[naught_again]

Don't get your hopes up.
Just because I agree to do this doesn't mean he'll actually respond.
