“He didn’t know how to stop talking!” Espio says, and though he’s not put off by the lad’s excitable response he still takes a step back to preserve his personal space. “His name’s Marco, and he was a giant pain in the ass. He wasn’t from my world, though - my world’s where this one got its sky from.”

He pauses for a moment, something seeming oddly familiar about this boy and his excitement. His appearance, too, come to think of it... huh. “...hey. What’s your name?”

[To be clear, he’s CRAU, but he doesn’t know Shouyou! He’s thinking of an OC that used him as a PB.]
