...well this "Harpuia" certainly gave him answers!
Unfortunately, with those answers came a whole lot of questions that sat in X's stomach and wrenched there (such a strange feeling), glaring up at him with such intensity that it was hard not to shrink back from the force of his own absolute confusion.
So, what was learned so far:
Harpuia was a dead Reploid (who looked extremely human -- possibly was human, considering X's own circumstaces) from the future. In which X was no longer a Maverick Hunter, but a ruler of some society called "Neo Arcadia".
It was insane, implausible, and about as likely as Zero and Vile suddenly becoming best friends...
But...
As though everything else so far hasn't been insane. I've woken up in a body that isn't mine -- and works just like a human's does -- am in a place that I've never seen before in my life, and now I meet someone who claims to be from the future. It's crazy, but he seems so earnest...and really, what reason does he have to lie to me?
That thought alone caused X's thoughts to stop in their tracks.
This 'Harpuia' had no real reason to lie to him.
If he'd wanted to trick him to gain his trust, wouldn't he have said something closer to X's own timeline in which to get him to believe him? X didn't quite buy his story (who would?), but he seemed trustworthy. He most certainly wasn't attacking him, nor did he seem to wish him any harm.
Yes. X would trust him.
"I wonder if our bodies were built at all." X said after a few moments.
