Prelude

Yo-yo-san
"There must be some mistake. Chains are not allowed to
have two owners!"
"There is no-"
"mistake. I am one person. It's mere coincidence that-"
"I happen to have two bodies."
The handsome young man standing behind the reception
desk slammed open an appointment book.
"This can't be right! The reservation is for Robin Mercado,
not RobinS Mercado!!!"
"Don't worry about it."
"It confuses a lot of people. I wouldn't expect-"
"you to understand."
"But I would like my Chain, and my room, please."
"I...I'll have to ask the Master...please wait here a
moment."
Flustered, he hurried off through the plushly upholstered
red door behind him. The two bodies left alone in the
room exchanged sideways glances.
And we're keeping this up for how long, Robbie?
Until the mystery is solved, Robin. It shouldn't be
too long. We're good detectives.
Identical hands brushed through nearly identical hair.
Matched cobalt eyes blinked in unison.
We're the best.
