You sat on the couch at the old orphanage and smiled while sipping on some soda while the others chatted. Cora then glanced at you and grinned.

"Say Y/N. Now that we know your secret, do you think you'll be going back to school?" Cora questioned. Astro glanced at you with wide eyes.

"Y/N, you don't go to school?" Astro questioned. You put your soda down and shook your head.

"No, I don't. And to be honest, I don't think I'll be heading back to school anytime soon. People will be afraid of my eyes and it will be hard to go to school while wearing a blindfold." You admitted. Cora smiled at you.

"Then come to my school! I can help you around and stuff." Cora told. Astro frowned at Cora.

"No way, she should come to my school. She'll have way more fun there. Plus I'll be there  to help her!" Astro told. Cora frowned and pushed Astro lightly to the side.

"Nuh uh, that's not fair. Y/N already went to your school. It's her turn to go to mine." Cora stated as she took a sip of her soda. Astro's eyes widened in shock and he looked at you.

"Wait, you went to my school!?" Astro questioned. You looked at him and nodded. You currently had your blindfold off since it was just you and your friends at the moment.

"Yeah. But this was before and slightly after the attack. I decided not to go to school anymore since I scared everyone with my eyes." You admitted. You then smiled at him. "Say, since you go to that school now, I bet you beat that boy's high score when it comes to grades." You said as you turned your body towards Astro. Astro raised an eyebrow at you.

"Boy? What boy?" You hummed in thought as you tried to think back to that boy's name and face.

"Well, he would always get top of the class and I would always get second to him. I can't quite remember his name or face though. But I do know that every time we did a test, he would always finish first and leave early while getting one hundred percent on the test. It was incredible!" You exclaimed. Astro hummed in though. His eyes then widened at who you meant and he looked at you while smiling.

"Oh, you mean Toby! Toby Tenma, right?" You smiled and nodded.

"Yeah! That was his name! Do you know him?" You questioned. Astro sweat dropped and pointed to himself.

"Um, well yeah. I'm basically him. Well, I was created to be him." Astro told. Your eyes widened in surprise.

"What? That was you!?" You cried. Astro shrugged.

"Yes and no. You see..." Astro sighed and looked down. "Toby, he died in an accident... Dad, I mean Tenma, he was so heartbroken that he created me to replace him. At first, I actually thought I was Toby. But...then some stuff happened and I still kind of think of myself as him, although I also feel as if I'm a different person." Astro explained. You stared at Astro with wide eyes at the news. Toby was dead...? You frowned and sighed and looked down.

"That's...sad to hear, about Toby." You told. Astro gave you a sad look.

"U-um, are you sad that I'm now what's left of him?" Astro questioned. You shook your head and smiled at Astro.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm very sad that Toby is gone, but I'm glad that you're here. Toby and I weren't really that close anyway. In fact, I don't think he even knows who I am." You told while chuckling. Astro smiled and hummed in thought.

"Hmm, I know everyone's faces even from Toby's old class." Astro then leaned towards you and stared at your face. You blushed slightly and began to shift uncomfortably.

"Um, do you know who I am?" You questioned. Astro cocked his head to the side as he frowned. He then sighed and sat back.

"That's odd, I can't seem to recall your face." Astro told. You sweat dropped and looked to the side.
