“Good looking!” He replies
Grace blushes. “Oh, well, thanks.”
“I can tell that you’re sad…” Jake pauses
“It’s nothing. Really.” Grace smiled tiredly.
“Don’t worry!” Jake smirked “I’m not a creep or anything!”
“I believe you. Who’s your friend?” Grace asked, looking pointedly at Kyro.
“Edwardo…” Grace frowned. The name struck a bell. But she couldn’t place it.
“Does he… have a nickname?” She asked.
“Ed? Eddie? Edward?” Jake asks “I could tell you my favourite but only after you tell me why you’re so sad…”
“Fine. One of my friends… well, he got into a relationship and I haven’t been able to contact him. It’s almost as if he’s forgotten about me.”
Grace smiled. “There you have it.”
“Did you have feelings for him?” Kyro asks
“Now now, Kyro…” Jake pauses “At least tell get your nickname first!”

Grace froze.
“W-what?”
“Kyro, like the country!” Kyro smiles
“It’s actually ‘Cairo’“ Jake corrects
“Thou shall not be a grammar obsessive O’ brother of mine“ Kyro says intellectually
“Anyway, Grace, you look like you’ve seen a ghost…” Jake worries
@meepinater
“I-you died! You… you tried to kill-”
Grace sputtered. She stood up and backed away from Kyro, fear etched on her face. “How?”
This Kyro was a younger one
“What’s going on?” He asks “Mark said I was cool in the future but, I’m a…”
“Maybe it’s a different Kyro!” Jake asks
“No, no no” Kyro starts to cry “What am I really like in 2059?”

Monty’s head rotated one eighty compared to the rest of his body to try and determine if the sound was behind him.
He would find nothing behind him.
An odd sound that resembled chains dragging on the ground could be heard.
