"I don't talk about my death after just a single shot of drink", Shiro's clone says, smiling wryly. "Though I will tell you to avoid a certain witch in Nexus. She's old and purple, you won't have trouble recognosing her."

"I have a temporary body while I'm here. The White Lion helps with that. He, ah, he's a Spirit Guardian of a certain very magical place in a Universe I'm from."

"My original body is now occupied by Shiro, the guy I was cloned for. He was dead, he's alive now thanks to that. Which I don't have any issue with, anymore. I was mostly gone by then."

Suddenly, Hiroki realises something. Angel. Angels can heal souls, can't they? Or maybe not...

"Listen, you're an angel, so.... would you know for sure if a human has a soul or not? The witch made other clones of Shiro, too, not just me. I'd like to save them. If any are alive, physically and spiritually. I have a friend who would help, she sees such stuff, but maybe you could help, too, if you see such things, the more the better-"

"Nevermind. We've only just met, I'm asking too much. Forget it."
