Sasha, most of the time, didn't pay much mind to any new employees at the Psychonauts. He was too busy in his own work, and it wasn't like he usually met those people anyway. He was usually either with Milla, Oleander or Hollis, actually carrying out the serious duties. So, his surprise and excitement was overwhelming when he notices your familiar face around the motherlobe, carrying out your duties. Could it really be you? Was it actually you? He wasn't seeing things? His mind races as he watched you from the corner of his eye, standing over his desk in his lab. You hadn't noticed him yet, and he saw that as mostly a good thing. The last time you'd seen each other, you were only teenagers, and he remembered how shortly later he ran away from home... never to see you again. He never even said goodbye to you. He remembered how back then you and him were very close, close enough that there was a rumour going around your school that you two were dating, how much time you'd spend together.. it was like a flood of memories. And he left without any warning.. and it had been more than a decade... heck, you could think he was dead!
