If you say so.

[ Is that ... it, then? He's said something wrong again, hasn't he? He's tried to convey what he needed to as clearly as he can, but, well. Ingo was always the one of them better with words.

(Needy, overly reliant, codependent, 'the younger twin'. Attaché rather than an independent entity. Well, it's all wrong, isn't it, he kept everything afloat, he did—

But the thing is, it's easy to think Emmet can't stand on his own, that he has to be part of a pair to function. Ingo seems to have been perfectly fine without Emmet.

If he dwells on that for too long...)

(In his dreams, waking or not, it isn't always that he wakes up to a too-empty apartment in Nimbasa. Nor is it that even here, Ingo simply disappears again, same as the first time.

Sometimes, the shadowy figure that is meant to be Ingo looks at Emmet, evaluating and assessing, and turns away of his own accord, having found nothing to keep him there without the obligation of a life spent together first.)

... He's not going to push. If Ingo asks, he'll talk. If not ... then Emmet will refrain, and let Ingo decide whatever he wants to. ]
