Huh. Soldier. Time. Okay, maybe he was the same Steve... but was that Steve or Stephen? She wasn't really sure how to ask that though - hey, how many souls do you have? was weird however you cut it - especially since he might still not actually be the same person. Maybe. Despite all the coincidences. "Transia mostly just pretends to be from the past. My mother was a scientist so she had a lot of equipment but I didn't go to her laboratory very much."
There was obviously a lot of things he wasn't saying, things that upset him, but his answer was so vague that it was impossible to glean anything useful out of it that might explain more. Probably that was the point. It could apply to almost any fight - except for her birthday, that was. There hadn't been any good people that day. "That's what I'm meant to be doing now. Before I came here. It sounds like almost everyone here has had to fight."
