"I met the man who looks like me," he says, remembering that Veronica had mentioned him looking like someone on their first meeting. "Max is his name, yeah? We met at the party." Mathias had been quite drunk, but mostly as a means to actually leave the Compound and he doesn't think he was drunk enough to imagine a twin. "I thought he was my brother at first," he admits with a wry smile. "It was... not pleasant."
