[The video function flips on to display someone who doesn't make announcements very often. He's sitting on the floor of a nearly empty room as a small brown ferret explores the only remaining item in the room. A collection of colorful plastic piping that connected to Zero's own room and around their apartment. Zero had built and designed it as a holiday gift for Hikaru recently.]

For anyone who has been friends with Hikaru Hitachiin. He has apparently left the facility.

[The amount of loss that Zero has experienced in his short life has given him the ability to appear completely calm and composed in situations where he was feeling the complete opposite. Devastated and torn up inside at this loss--Zero didn't make friends easily. Both Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin had noted and understood something about Zero that most others could never understand which made them grab ahold of him and refused to let go.

For the short time Ichiru had been in the facility, the four of them had developed a bond that he'd honestly never experienced in a friendship before. And then suddenly it was just Hikaru and Zero left. Zero provided the kindness and support that Hikaru missed from Kaoru while Hikaru forced Zero to not take life so seriously in the way that Ichiru wanted him.]

...just out of curiosity. How many twins are there here in the facility now? You don't have to have your other half here. I'm just wondering if there are many.

	Ah... [Although Calliope wasn't very close to Hikaru, she does spare a moment of silence and contemplation for him.] [She's already seen her own share of friends leave, after all. Silence is a moment of respect.] ... that's right, he has a twin brother... [She doesn't comment on her own situation. It's not like she needs to.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Definitely no need to comment on your situation. He's well aware of it.] They've been apart for too long. I hope they are able to be together again since they both have left the facility. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope so, too. [Her curiosity ultimately consumes her, though, and she politely offers him a question.] You said "other half." Does that mean there is a special twin-bond which singly-born humans lack? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

...they aren't common where I'm from so I can't really give a good answer to that. From what I experienced and have seen in twins here compared to what I've seen in natural siblings, yes--there is a difference.

[But that's not exactly why he says other half.]

Especially in identical twins, they are the product of the reproduction process splitting the cells to create two separate beings with no difference in DNA. They are exactly the same. [usually...]

	[Calliope latches onto the information, becoming perhaps the giddiest anyone has about cellular mitosis.] That's incredible, really! I'm amazed that humans can do that, even if it's an uncommon thing! I mean, my brother and I are not even identical. Not with our blood colours being so different...

	[Don't worry. Zero finds your situation just as interesting.] It's not anything anyone can control, it is pretty unique when it happens though. [Especially in his situation, they usually devour each other and don't survive.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
