Chapter 11 - Either

Before my thread of energy fully reaches the body, I stabilize it in between my body and the clone. Then I pour more energy that creates two new threads that come out of the initial thread and connect both of us into one.

It's much simpler than what I would have thought, controlling two minds. I learn what the other clone knows, while the other clone learns what I know, then the thread in between connects our minds into one. But in reality, that would mean there are three minds… right?

Or perhaps not, but then that would mean both brains are processing the information together. That's what would make the most sense, I guess, as if anything I've encountered makes sense.

Ryuuka lets go of the clone.

Both clones look at each other while walking slower, wondering how they both see each other at the same time. It's a new feeling, they both can understand each other. Constant energy flows through them like it's being shared, a low amount is being poured from each clone, they connect and transport information.

"What the heck," Ryuuka says, while not in confusion.

"I have no clue either," the clone spoke blankly.

They both smile, they feel like one person, controlling both at the same time, they should be confused. But they immediately understood what was happening. They both feel connected to each other, like they know each other completely. Anything that happens to each clone, they both see, feel, hear, taste, smell and sense it, but only one experiences it.

This was a new ability. Downplayed due to exhaustion, they both continue walking, this time, not supporting each other. One looks a direction, the other the opposite, the clones learn of everything in each direction and share it.

Both bewildered, continue forward. Finally reaching their home. Both of their brains were used to come up with a way to explain the situation. It felt less stressful for both of them.

Up on the porch, Ryuuka knocks. Ryuujiro answers.

"Quickly connect," Ryuuka asks of Ryuujiro, Ryuujiro taking a split second to observe the second clone before charging his energy.

Ryuuka released another connecting thread from the two female clones and merges it with Ryuujiro's energy waves.

Ryuujiro immediately felt a knot through his brain, the other two clones also felt it before acquiring all the knowledge of what the other two have gone through. It should have felt more painful, but all the new knowledge was processed by three brains instead of one, perhaps spreading the pain more evenly.

Ryuujiro's knowledge has also been diluted into the carpool, but it was barely anything significant enough to mention.

It was weird, within just a matter of seconds, he learned everything they know, like we went through the experiences they had. At the same time, he felt the need to feel weird even though he had felt the same thing before, from the minds of the clones.
