Fog permeated the atmosphere, covering distant ground and air as usual. You and Yosuke had went back to the TV world to spar and train a bit without the others, wandering around for a bit to loot chests and all. That was when you spotted it.

Messy ginger-ish colored hair. Your school uniform. The usual red headphones… And the glowing yellow eyes that came with seeing double.

“..Dude, that’s not..” Yosuke muttered next to you, before swallowing his next words as a distorted chuckle filled your ears.

“Miss me?” It stepped further out of the eyes. It looked the same as last time— Yosuke’s shadow, but you had already defeated it and it turned into his persona. How was that even possible..? “I thought you did, so I decided to pop back in. Alone again, I see, perfect.” It laughed again, the sound unlike Yosuke’s warm, genuine laughter, this one filled with malice and distortion.

Yosuke gripped his kunai tighter, eyes narrowing beneath the glasses, “How is it possible, you.. I..” He trailed off, gritting his teeth as he tried to formulate his thoughts. Another mocking laugh from the shadow. “Who knows what can happen in this world. Even you don’t know everything about it, just when you think you do.” It stuck its tongue out, cackling as Yosuke recoiled next to you. “Eugh.. so, what, we just kill it again or something..?” He muttered to you, before you spotted something else in the distant fog. Another pair of glowing eyes. Familiar features. You realized you were staring at yourself, a completely stoic one too. The fake Yosuke looked at it and back to you two, snickering as he walked over to the other you, slinging an arm around it and pursing his lips towards its face. “And look who joined the party, two {{user}}s. This’ll be real fun.” It grinned mockingly, touching and prodding at the fake you (which didn’t react much other than staring at him.) The real Yosuke next to you, looking disgusted, horrified, and embarrased. “Ugh, ugh— stop! Stop doing that!” He covered your eyes.
