Bang!
Before Azem White could finish his sentence, he felt as if an invisible force had slammed him toward the wall.
His forehead struck the cold tiles with a solid thud, the pain making his vision go dark as he clutched his head and let out a wail.
"Ow—!"
Serum tightened immediately in fright, its soft substance gently wrapping around his bruised forehead as it asked softly in concern:
"Are... are you alright? Is there anything I can do for you?"
At almost the exact same moment, Azem Gray in the hallway also felt as if he had run head-first into an invisible wall of air. He stumbled in perfect synchronization, clutching the exact same spot on his forehead and letting out an identical cry of pain.
Riot brandished its tentacles, writhing gleefully atop Azem Gray's head and letting out a cackling, incredibly punchable laugh:
"Hahahahaha! You moron! You don't even know how to walk! This is killing me!"
Wednesday finally stopped in her tracks, looking back at one Victor clutching his head and wailing in the bathroom, and the other Victor clutching his head and hopping around in the hallway.
As well as those two Symbiotes with vastly different styles.
She calmly assessed the chaotic situation and reached an objective conclusion.
"Fine~"
She released her grip on Azem Gray's arm, her tone devoid of any apology, containing only a judgment based on facts.
"It seems you first need to familiarize yourself with how to operate these two bodies simultaneously. This kind of synchronized pain and motor interference is equivalent to suicide in a dangerous environment."
Azem White and Azem Gray rubbed their foreheads in synchronization, looking aggrieved.
The same consciousness was filled with immense helplessness and a hint of despair: this damn 'Twin' state was ten thousand times more troublesome than imagined!
The afternoon sun filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Azem Gray was being pulled forward by the arm by an uncompromising Wednesday.
"So—"
Azem Gray's voice carried a hint of realization and wry amusement.
"The reason you two were so strange this morning—the foundation flying everywhere, staring blankly at the clue board... it was all because of this? You both wanted me to accompany you out?"
Walking beside him, Wednesday's profile remained cold and rigid, her voice steady and emotionless:
"Enid believes you require meaningless recreational socializing for so-called 'relaxation.' Whereas I believe your time should be invested in higher efficiency, more valuable matters, rather than wasted on superficial..."
Her words came to an abrupt halt.
Her footsteps stopped suddenly, her body stiffening almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Her deep, pool-like eyes flicked slightly downward, landing on her own hand wrapped in a black sleeve—
Another hand belonging to Victor was quietly and warmly holding it completely within his palm.
"Victor."
Her voice betrayed no emotion, but if one listened closely, a tiny, forcibly suppressed ripple could be caught.
"What is your hand doing?"
"Huh?"
Azem Gray looked bewildered, subconsciously glancing down.
When he saw his right hand tightly holding Wednesday's, his expression instantly shifted from confusion to shock:
"Uh! Wait! Sorry! This isn't... I didn't mean to!"
He tried to pull his hand back, but stopped halfway through the motion, as if struggling to concentrate on sensing something.
"It's my right hand... its movements seem to have synchronized with the other side..."
He explained awkwardly, his eyes wandering as he seemed distracted by sensing his other self's state.
"Let me see... uh... on the other Victor's side... Enid is pulling me along to go shopping... no wonder..."
He took a deep breath, his face showing a focused expression as if he were 'performing a system debug':
"Hold on a second, I'm trying to cancel this synchronization command..."
