"I'd tell you, but you're only thirteen." Mail replied as they slipped out.

"And how old is... what is it that I am to call this person?" Near asked with a frown, realizing he didn't know the other's name. "Nate's phone said that his name was Mail, but..."

"I'm seventeen going on eighteen kiddo." Mail replied.

"So technically... if I am still alive... I am older then Mail," Near hummed to himself.

"So you think you're back in time then?" Mail laughed as he hit the button for the elevator.

"I am technically in the future," Near informed. "I am merely wondering if I will attempt to find myself. Logic says that I wont, if I am alive to remember these moments."

"Maybe we write it as it happens and not as it has happened?" Mail offered before stepping onto the elevator and hitting it for the ground floor. "I mean, wouldn't suck if he already knew and couldn't be surprised? Oh dude! We should totally find his ass!"

"Logic tells me that mixing timelines with myself is not smart," Near informed, before his eyes went wide. "Unless, of course... I never return to my own time line... then we would be looking for Nate."

"...You lost me." Mail blinked.

"If Nate and I switched places," Near attempted to explain, his eyes widening even more. "Then Nate is in the past now. If we don't figure out how to switch us back... then he will live on in the past."

"...So then...he's Near...today?" Mail attempted.

The white haired boy gave him a blank look.

To Mail, it might have seemed annoyed... but in honesty, Near was happy to be around someone who wasn't constantly trying to win against him in a battle of intelligence.

Of course, it hardly meant much considering that the redhead couldn't even hope to compete, but still, it was somehow relieving.

"...So," Near attempted, trying to change the subject. "The abilities of Nate's phone are quite impressive."

"Yep...he can call people, send them typed messages, game, take pictures of his mangina and promptly look them up on the internet afterwords." Mail nodded.

"His... what?" Near asked, his eyes going wide. "Nate is a hermaphrodite!?"
