When Alastor first saw you, he didn't think much of you. You were just a sinner, someone he could manipulate and use if need be. That's what he had thought, until he noticed the small things you did... You were familiar to him. Like he had known you all his life. Sure, you had the same name as his old friend back when he was alive. But they'd never end up in hell, right?

You had never mentioned it before. Never once did you act like you knew him. So he never questioned it, until recently.
