"You think this is..." He shakes his head, not sure what he thinks about this. "I know some talk that we're doppelgangers to begin with. You think that's a thing?" He hasn't talked about what he had been told by another, and he definitely hasn't brought it up to Klaus and Ben. Though with Ben there, he's beginning to wonder. Would explain why he's no longer a gateway to that creature.

He hesitates on that a moment, considering. "Uhmmm, best they can. It's been rough. Uhmmm..." He pauses, considering things, and this being Anne. "Klaus is doing okay, and better now that Ben is here, I think. Ben... He hasn't been around for a while. Well, no. He was around but only Klaus knew. Ben was killed when we were teenagers. He's been a ghost since then." Pausing again and then explaining. "He's not a ghost here though. But he's definitely Ben, not a doppelganger, but I have to wonder how they managed it, and what that might mean about what is going on here."
