[He's not sure what makes him want to add the extra few weeks. Perhaps it's got something to do with the tone in Omi's - Mamoru's - voice and no that name just will not stick for him. There's something about the way he speaks that makes nineteen sound hopelessly young. All Ken can say is he's glad he's got a little more to call on than that...
[How long ago is quite a while, Omi?]
Almost. But I've been here quite a while. Look, do I have to call you Mamoru?
[The confusion in his voice is obvious. He doesn't think he was that off-the-mark about when the battle with those three elders of Eszett happened, but the years have run together a little. Maybe he had been nineteen that year.
No. That can't be right. That was the year Ouka and Persia... father... had died. He was definitely seventeen that year.]
Oh... I see. [Two seconds' pause to consider the question, and there's a smile in his voice.] No, Ken-kun. Considering the circumstances... Calling me Omi is okay.
[But all he sounds is resigned. Been there, done that. Not like Aya the high-school kid is exactly normal.]
Still, I guess Aya's younger than me now. All we need now is for Youji to come back as an old granddad or a middle-schooler or something and we'll be all set.

How old are you?
