Ah. There's a moment where Tidus pauses in words and thoughts, until he tips his head in Jingyi's direction, a gaze that flits in his direction, however brief.

"Sorry," he says, and sincerely, with a certain weight to the word. "I get muddled up separating it in my head sometimes. There's people familiar with each other, and then you hear stuff unique to them, so you just-"

Here comes the hands closing together like a ball - a ball that's being mushed together. Stick terms that seem unique into their own holes, make connections.

"But-" But. They're crossing the garden carriage now, Jingyi's memorial stone in its place, the other few dotted stones of memorial, hanging nets with letters, all gathered in this one space.

"You know, everyone... when we had a Q&A with the train - where we got to ask questions--" because he realises, using informal language, probably not going to help Jingyi there, "--it told someone that none of us are from the same world. Even if we think we are, no one is. It's really...confusing? Like I guess, everyone's a little different, somehow. Another them."

Because sometimes, the difference between a person with the same face as one you know isn't them being a dragon on top of it. There wasn't any difference; none that either of them realised, except for the time since they last saw each other. It's one of those revelations Tidus tries not to think about, but always manages to slip in his thoughts.
