Aseira, pursed her lips. "As far as we know, there's only one other person from another world still alive among us. He's… rather peculiar.

Alex frowned, a strange feeling of familiarity washing over him. "Adika," he murmured, the name echoing in his mind. "That sounds kind of familiar…"
"Maybe it's a friend from back home, huh?" Akiko teased.
Alex shook his head, a sliver of unease gnawing at him. "I don't know," he admitted, the name resonating with a strange sense of recognition he couldn't quite place.
