"But..." He frowned deeper. "What about past you?"

"Huh? What about him?" How did past Anthony fit into this? He didn't get it.

"Are you past you?" Definitely a pressing issue.

Anthony was about to respond, and then shut his mouth as he was forced to actually think about it. "Well. Yes, in a way. I guess."

"Do you mind what happened to past you?" He was still frowning.

"Huh? What do you mean?" He didn't understand that question.

"Well...." He couldn't furrow his brows any further. It was too difficult. He didn't know how to rephrase the question. "Never mind."

The question still interested him, and he didn't want to let it go just yet. "Do I mind what happened to past me," he repeated. "um. Well. Yes. I certainly mind a lot of things that happened to me. But there's also things that I....don't mind?"

"I see..." he said. He could no longer remember why he had asked the question. He took another sip of his drink, except he found the glass empty.

That was a very strange question. He didn't quite understand why Tobias asked it. "Yeah," Anthony said. "why'd you ask that?"
