[The way Doppio's responses noticeably slow down may shed some light on how deliberate his evasiveness was.]
That doesn't make any sense.
[It's not so much deliberate as it is a somehow habitual blindness. He doesn't do it on purpose, never goes so far as to stare the truth in the eye and shut it down; instead, he manages to walk right through it without looking back.]
That makes no sense!
[There is one thing he has to actively steer his mind away from - his life in that other world, where Trish was present despite not even being in Ryslig at the time - but that isn't difficult for him to do, either.
It was a fake life, and that wasn't really him. Why should it matter? It doesn't matter. He's told himself that so many times, it didn't factor into this until exactly now, when Trish has brought it up, and now he finds himself having to turn away from it.]
Just... think about it! How old would I have been then?? Your mom wouldn't fall in love with a kid! I mean... an even YOUNGER kid
here we fuckin go
