Valerie didn't know what she should think about as of now.
For the past twenty minutes, only Austin had spoken, and she listened to him.
Not a word came out of her because of shock and realization.
If anyone else had said something like cross-world travel, she might have found it ridiculous. However, it was the person she trusted the most who relayed about his previous life and the things he faced.
By no means was he lying or pranking her since one cannot describe someone's life in such details unless they have lived it.
And there was no reason for Austin to lie to her.
Then that means..."You lived your life as a different person for eighteen years...and then woke up in this world and thought you had taken over the person named Austin?"
Valerie summarised whatever he said until now.
Austin nervously nodded, "Yes. I thought I had become one with Austin, but a part of me was still Luke. That's why I hesitated to tell you about it. I thought you might hate me."
