[ A delay. ]

They were ported out.

[There's a delay for him, too.]

yeah

I'm sorry.
When was this?

gon and my friend kite disappeared on the 8th
alluka disappeared on the 15th
im sorry i didnt tell you. i didnt really get to thinking about everyone else

It's alright.
You can still come if you'd like. It's a small get together.

sure as long as you dont mind
thanks

Not at all.
Are you familiar with the December holidays?

theres more than one?
i know about christmas but i havent really ever 'celebrated' for real or anything
what else is there?

Different religions celebrate different things.
The dinner I'm having is for Hanukkah. Thought you boys and Alluka would like jelly donuts.

[Religions?? Okay maybe he's not as informed about this as he thought.]

oh... i dont think ive heard of that
do you still get presents because i got you one
i mean they would have liked that offer though
just so you know

You didn't have to do that.
Many families exchange gifts for Hanukkah. Every night of it for some.

its not about having to idiot i wanted to ok
so then ill just bring it over for that dinner thing

You're a little brat.
Dinner will be on the evening of the 24th. There's going to be a few others.

so are you!
but ok not anyone i know probably right

[That's fine. He can be quiet, surprisingly.]

I don't think so.
You might meet Dick. He's a sweet kid.

[The name sounds distantly familiar, like he might have run into him once before, but he can't recall where.]

is he my age?

A little older.
We're not from the same world, but he's from a similar one. He's normally only a few years younger than me.

so he's in two different worlds?
at different ages
i didnt know that could happen

It happens a lot more than you'd think.

is this something i should worry about when meeting people from my world?
or is it usually obvious

It depends. Sometimes it's obvious, like their memories aren't what they're supposed to be.
Other times it's less.

[So it's a constant worry that might not be caught at first? He grips his phone a little tighter.]

alright
ill keep that in mind

It might happen. It might not.

[In his paranoid mind, that's as good as 'it could very well happen'.]

yeah i get it

[ It's an awkward topic. ]

So I'll see you the 24th?
