Well... that's definitely a weird origin story, and Nida isn't sure he even follows it, but he's intrigued. Maybe... can he maybe be friends with this not-Fern then?

Still, he might have a bit of insight, just by looking at Squall and Seifer.

"Or maybe it's that you have all the things he wants. The friendships. The recognition. If his origin comes from you, then he wants the same things you do. But you're the one that actually lived it. People will accept you, and not him."

Hyne, he misses Fern so bad now.
