(NAME) ROBIN - 2ND POV

...

Joonghyuk raised his hand, paralleling the height of your own. You couldn't comprehend what he was doing, but when he intertwined your fingers together, it confused you even more.

     "I'm sure you know the stigma of the Aeon of Remembrance," he stated, bringing your attention back to his face.

[YOO JOONGHYUK HAS ACTIVATED STIGMA, MEMORY SHARE LV. 8.]

But another notification bothered you...

[THE CONSTELLATION, MEMO-KEEPER, DOESN'T REMEMBER GIVING YOO JOONGHYUK THE STIGMA.]

[A FEW CONSTELLATIONS ARE GIVING SUSPICIOUS LOOKS AT YOO JOONGHYUK.]

     "Who are you?" You asked again because even the constellations are wary of him, but all you received was his blank stare. "Hey, answer me!"

[YOO JOONGHYUK WANTS TO SHARE SNIPPETS OF HIS MEMORIES WITH YOU. DO YOU ACCEPT INCARNATION (NAME) ROBIN?]

[YOU HAVE ACCEPTED.]

A harsh *WHOOSH!* of the wind covered your vision and because of the small debris being thrown on your way, you were forced to close your eyes. You opened an eye after a few minutes to see a different scene in front of you, you weren't in the Chungmuro Station anymore...

But on the subway train and in front of you was yourself, holding the corpse of your brother while another Joonghyuk loomed over you. The Joonghyuk you have your hands interlocked with is beside you, watching the scene...

*Italics are the memories' sentences/conversation

     "Who are you?" You asked as you looked up at the man looking down at you. "If you're here to kill me, then do it."

     "Why would I kill you?" Joonghyuk asked, looking down at you. "Is there a reason why should I kill you?"

     You leaned on the side and saw the other cart of the train was filled with corpses and blood, the man in front of you had his sword in the show with hints of skin and blood attached to it. "You... You killed all of them, so what makes a difference to me?"
