Yeah, I get a lot of that. Like, for me, I keep finding that me and my past self are way too similar. Since I think about that sort of thing too, you know? Trying to compare the differences and similarities... and sometimes it kind of hurts.

Like wondering if, well, because someone is like this in memories you recall that maybe it's definitely like that. Like they're too similar, so you can't help but ask yourself questions. You know what, maybe I'm lucky that I don't share memories with other people. I'd get way too paranoid.

[ Raina, you're already too paranoid... although she does see that look on his face, so vulnerable and it makes her heart twist to see her brother, the person she looks up to, like this. ]

Putting that aside, though, I don't think you have to worry. If he is hiding things from you, I think it'll just need some time. Best not to force it.

As for the latter, if you're really that worried about losing him again, that's when you should talk to someone about it, right? You shouldn't have to carry these burdens by yourself. And there's plenty of people that would want to help, you know?

I know it's a little hypocritical of me to say that, as someone who doesn't really have friends, but... yeah.
