[ He couldn't help but immediately repeat. No. That wasn't right. Richie was with him a year ago. Yet... there weren't any signs of this dame lying. In fact, she even seemed... sorry?

Seth unconsciously raised a hand and scratched at the back of his head then dropped it, fighting off the urge to feel defeated. ]

Who knows how this shit works. I was just somewhere before here and found a Kate who didn't know anythin' about the time I saw her last.

He looked into the video feed. ]

So you two were friends, huh?

[ A hint of mischief was in his eyes at the question, corner of his mouth curling the slightest bit upward. ]
