Pardon my eavesdropping, but that is...

[How does he put this delicately?]

Do you mind talking about what happened? I think I may have some idea of what you've been through.

Mn...

[Darin runs his hand through his hair a bit grumpily.]

My twin brother Dromas...he was killed along with my birth father when we were five years old. I was cut down too, but...well, I'm a little harder to kill I guess...so I survived.

Jump to nineteen years later...about a month ago on my world. An ambassador from a neighboring kingdom gets murdered and I'm framed as the culprit. Eye witness described me perfectly. So I go on a journey to find the guy who was using my face to clear my name. Finally, after a month of being on the road, I get a lead and find the guy.

Turns out...it's Dromas. The Archfiends that tried to kill me apparently decided to drag his soul into their realm. I guess he grew in power there and he busted out on his own and now he wants to wipe out humanity.

[He conveniently leaves out the part where he and Dromas are the living embodiment of the end of the world and it's their destiny to kickstart the apocalypse.]

[That's definitely something understandable to leave out, but as it is, it's obvious that a flash of terrified recognition has just run across Jonathan's face.]

H...How abhorrent of him! He sounds almost like...

[Yeah, that. He doesn't say the name directly, and he's not going to divulge too much information about Dio to a stranger. On top of that, he isn't entirely sure what an Archfiend is, but it doesn't sound like something that hangs around with puppies and fields of flowers.]

For what it is worth, I am truly sorry for your loss. I know it can be difficult, being the only person who survives time and again.

[Darin almost thinks to ask Jonathan about what seemed so familiar about his particular circumstances, but in the end he decides not to pry. Instead, he offers a grateful nod.]

I appreciate that. I've been lucky. I was taken in by a good man and raised to be a blacksmith. I owe him my life.
