If I'm not answering, it must be because I'm living with the baddest babe this side of the inner city! Go ahead and leave a message if you're not too overcome with jealousy! Kthxbai!
[Masaomi doesn't answer right away. After waking up to some guy in his house, fighting back so much deja vu... Is it happening again? But he can't remember anything. He's never heard this voice before in his life.
[That tone says it all. Kida doesn't remember him. Not in the slightest. This...stung more than just the change in behavior from Jenny and Rubedo. This is Duo being completely forgotten, without a trace of memory of him left.]
I'm...
["I'm Duo. Remember? We got two other friends drunk." It's what he wants to say, but he knows it's no use. Nothing is going to help at this point.]
I'm no one. Sorry...guess I did get the wrong number.
[He can hear the lie. He can hear exactly when it starts. But the more he wracks his brain, the less connection he feels. Something is wrong. Something is really wrong, and he can't put his finger on it.
But the animus could do that, his overtaxed mind supplies.]
Hey, no problem. Can't blame a guy for wanting to chat with the Great Kida Masaomi. Every No One does eventually.
[But it's not a lie, is it? Right now, can Kida honestly say that Duo means anything to him?
The answer is no, and Duo knows it. He knows that he truly is no one to Kida at this point and time, which... Doesn't make him feel any better about the situation. Suppose it's time to do what he does best. ]
Yeah, suppose you're right. It's been an... Enlightening experience, for sure, but I should be off. Take it easy, man.
Sounds like you're the one who needs the chill pill. Look, whatever's up, take a step back from it. Go do something fun and forget about it for a while.
[Terrible word choice. He doesn't know it though.]

It's probably nothing. Right?
