Déjà vu
Part 2/3

This was the digital world, but for some reason, it didn't look like it. And no matter how much time he spent there, he wandered, lost.

They started calling him a ghost. He let them, because somehow that felt more true than calling the place he wandered the digital world. And as he wandered, he found more and more things that just didn't click, or seemed missing. More and more things that didn't make sense, as though this was just a dream and he'd lost touch with reality.

For starters, his twin wasn't here. Twin brother – no, sister – wait, what? That loop of thought plagued him often, but as far as he could follow, it had started as sister and was now leaning towards brother. Which was ridiculous, because however tomboyish Yuuko was, she'd never identified as anything other than a girl – or she'd never told him otherwise, anyway.

And then there was the quarter-going-on-half times he'd accidentally thought of her as a Kouji instead, before his memory caught up with him. But it was fitting more and more neatly. Kouji, instead of Yuuko. But why? And where had the name Kouji even come from?

The pieces were too scattered to fit together, and his wanderings revealed no more – though he did happen upon the trains one time and wonder why they didn't talk – before realising how ridiculous that sounded. Unless there were train-like digimon… And after a few more visits to the trains, he remembered their name. Trailmon. And there'd been a few different ones as well, but the names of those eluded him.

Just like there were names for all the humans who came and went, but they mostly eluded him as well. And, sometimes, he found himself glancing around as though there should be others with him… and not just Yuuko/Kouji, but others too. But they Kamishiro twins had been very solitary. Only each other and their father. Only him and his mother…

It was all too confusing. And it only got moreso when he stumbled back into the human world, so far stretched that he had no idea if he was awake or asleep, dead or alive, Yuugo or Kouichi, and most importantly, he had no idea where Yuuko/Kouji was.

But then he found his hospital room, and things began to click into place.

Kamishiro Yuugo, twin brother of Kamishiro Yuugo and son of Kamishiro Satoru and a mother he'd never known.

Kimura Kouichi, twin brother of Minamoto Kouji and son of Minamoto Kousei and Kimura Tomoko.

Two entirely separate people. And somehow they'd gotten crossed over. EDEN syndrome or whatever was the truth behind it for Yuugo. That fall that had taken him to the digital world for Kouichi. And four years in between, where they'd both wondered why their bodies felt so wrong and Kouji/Yuuko more than him – and no wonder. It was all so obvious now.

And he eagerly sought out his brother/sister so they could fix this –

So why did he/she attack?
