He wishes so badly he could remember even a fraction of what this Kotetsu does. If he knew at least a portion of it, maybe he wouldn't feel so guilty for forgetting. Maybe he'd be more confident this was just a case of differing timelines, rather than a case of someone being wiped clean from his mind.
He wants to know, since it seems so important to the other man. But at least he can be told, and maybe he'll start to truly remember later.
"I dearly hope that's the case, rather than it being proof I've forgotten something else." He offers a shaky grin. "As strange as that sounds."
But even his gentle teasing fades into complete shock at even the beginning of an explanation.
"You... you were an H unit? Like the ones we fought?" He bristles instinctively, before letting himself hear the rest of the android's statement. "Kotetsu... nicknamed you. And you became friends with us."
He's not sure he should believe that, but... but someone that wasn't a friend would have used his weakened mental state as a chance to attack or kill Barnaby, not as a chance to comfort him.
"Why were you designed to look like him?" Was he another more realistic copy? Meant to take over when H-01 failed?
