...It's... funny. When he'd found out Pyra's body was a construct, when he found out that someone else dwelled within her, he'd never actually considered that she... might not be the one who came first.
He sits in stunned silence for a long moment, allowing that new reality to sink in, and as the seconds pass he exhales a held breath and tries to figure out a way to phrase one of several new questions that spring to mind.]
