[ Is it weird to hold the hand of your clone and reassure him that things will be (relatively) okay? Hmm, probably, but on the grand scale of things, Eichi thinks it might be one of the less weird parts of this entire story. At any rate, he holds onto his other self's hand with an ease that seems natural.
A part of Eichi worries that if this Eichi has breezed into their lives so unexpectedly and so easily, they'll have to eventually deal with the fact that he will leave -- he has a home to go to, far different than this one, and surely he'll miss it, surely that should be their end. Ah, it might be the way of things, but Eichi already thinks he's going to miss him.
If nothing else, he's grateful to this Eichi; almost indebted, given that he's left the house more now than he had since the castes switched. ]
We have better tea at home, of course. It's one of the indulgences that Keito would never think of denying me. [ Even if Keito might question exactly why Eichi wants to spend several thousand dollars on exclusive tea... ]
I enjoyed being out, but I confess that I am more prone to enjoying the privacy of home. [ Also, man, Eichi really is not back to 100% health and he can tell that the other Eichi isn't doing a whole lot better. ]
