Medkit stood in front of the office building holding a flyer in his hand, he looks at the paper once more, a new job opening that requires a medical professional on standby. Though the job seemed a little sketchy, it pays well, which was all that Medkit cared for. He put his hand on the doorknob and twisted the door open, the office was decrepit and broken down, Medkit glanced around in confusion.

"...What happened here?" Medkit questioned.

Suddenly a fog of smoke drifted into the room, Medkit takes out his revolver and points it at the fog, but what steps out is someone he never expected.

"Hi Medkit!" Vinestaff said as she exited the fog.

Medkit let out a guttural scream as he almost begins to pass out, but then he suddenly hears echoing laughter belonging to a voice that is unfamiliar to him. As Medkit blinked, suddenly where Vinestaff once stood, a strange anthropomorphic cat-like being had appeared.

"Ha! You should have seen the look on your face!" The being laughed.

Medkit sighed in relief, "Oh thank god, it's just a skinwalker"

The mysterious figure stopped laughing, a serious expression coming over their face.

"Um, what?" They asked.

"Look, I already deal with the lot of you like 17 times a month, so can you please just tell me what my job is so I can get paid"

The skinwalker sighs and flashes a slight grin.

"Excellent... so you've turned to be quite the fine young man... my son!"

Medkit simply sighed again. "Look, I think you're confusing me with somebody else so if you don't mi-"

Suddenly, Medkit dropped down to the ground, no longer in control of his own body, he tried to scream in pain but found that he can't utter a single word.

'What...? How...?' Medkit thought.

The creature begins laughing, "Exactly, maybe you don't know this, but you're not actually the real Medkit, my son"

Medkit then realized that the monster was never speaking at all, but simply communicating telepathically to him. What exactly was the monster talking about?

"I'm sure you're wondering what I'm talking about" the voice echoed. "Basically, you're my clone, I made a deal with Subspace and successfully made a clone of the real Medkit, which is you"

'Medkit' realizes in horror that he couldn't even remember his own parents, they never existed, at one point the memories just end. He was helpless, forced to accept his reality as a mere puppet.

"But there is one way you can earn your freedom, my son" The voice bellowed.

Medkit suddenly found himself standing up, as if his body moved on his own and he just forgot about it.

"Find the real Medkit, and make sure he's... deceased"

A wicked grin came over the fake Medkit's face.

"Yes, father..."
