"It's a very strange stroke of luck that there was another Lucien close to the situation."

"Do they get along? I'd get along with myself."

"They do, it was cute."

"I bet."

Lia returns to petting the chillo.

Meanwhile, the other Lucien has discovered he can Google his code name ('Lifeline', as suggested by Haru).

He's credited on the dungeons he's helped with! There's a photo of Haru kissing him in the Star! He has an official agency profile! Esperfandomworld dot com has a small collection of links to fanart and RPF about him!

What is RPF? Click.

Apparently some people have decided to completely make up stories about him (and Haru, in both of the linked examples it's the pair of them). The first one is an amateur but earnest treatment of the author's complete fabrication about what it would be like to time travel and awaken and find a superhero to partner with; the second one is poorly characterized filthy porn.

Lucien leaves a comment with corrections on the first where appropriate.

The second.... he does not leave a comment on. Even though it gets a lot more things wrong - why is he blindfolded in it - oh maybe because he's in sensory deprivation gear during some dungeons for backlash reasons. Not that this would extend to guiding Haru - thinking he's responsible for the faces Haru makes is usually a pretty positive experience. Though not one he needs to inform the author of this piece of fiction about.

What about the fanart?

Normal portrait, normal portrait with better art, filthy porn.

That's. Wow. 

Well, probably it says something positive about society that this isn't illegal but Lucien doesn't have to look at it.

He does not. The back button is free.

Does the Star have anything in the article aside from them kissing?

Traceless, sensor/stealth esper native to Toronto, openly gay, previously partnered with June Yamanaka of no code name, has a new partner whom he is rumored to be dating, "Lifeline", backlash nonpublic but seems to require a blindfold at times which is also true of Sparkler, Traceless's erstwhile secondary, whose backlash is also nonpublic, powers thus and such.

"Hey Haru, what's a 'secondary'?"

"What's the context?"

"'Sparkler, Traceless's erstwhile secondary, also made use of a blindfold' - it's from an article about us in the Star."

"Oh, that means he's my guiding partner but not by default all the time, I only see him when I'm in British Columbia. - we should maybe have a monogamy conversation."

"Oh, uh, yeah. That sounds like a good conversation to have."

"I have never slept with June but Sparkler's another story. I will not exactly miss him if you'd rather I didn't, though, I only hook up with him so I can do dungeons while I'm visiting Charlie."

"I think I'd rather you don't, assuming our relationship is... as serious as I am under the impression it is?"

"It gets - complicatedly partially disentangled, with espers, because of how it's also medically beneficial."

"I think if like - you needed to guide and I wasn't there I'd deal with it but I'd prefer that not happen so long as I'm an option?"
