Shadow of Death let go of Light and Tough to survey their surroundings while he and Dark Saint spoke.
"The person you mean is Jihriel Asterion. Trust me, that guy is nothing but a mystery. I never managed to understand him."
This was more confusing than Halo had imagined. Another Asterion? Not only did Liam look almost identical to the hero, but he also had the same surname? He couldn't brand them as twins or even siblings since Liam had said he had none.
"So Liam resembles him? Then consider this… what if they're the same person from different timelines? It's not impossible in this world."
Perhaps Jihriel was the same as Liam, but in his timeline, his parents cared for him. But Halo didn't lean toward that explanation.
This wasn't possible since the gods wouldn't find any amusement in such tricks unless Liam and Jihriel were exceptional candidates. Still, every person in this world was equally important, which contradicted that take.
