[Seteth takes his drink with a soft smile, though his expression quickly grows serious again at the question. It's a difficult concept to grasp, isn't it? All the more so when it involves someone he knows was so precious to her.]
You are familiar, of course, with the fact that history can unfold very differently for us. For example, I fought under Claude's command, while you fought under Dimitri's. There is no way to tell what events or decisions can dramatically alter the course of your life, or the broader course of history itself--the possible points of divergence are truly limitless. Knowing this, then, it stands to reason that there are as many different potential Fodlans as there are stars in the sky.
And just as there are many Fodlans, there can--no, there must be many of those who inhabit them, as well. Any number of an individual could in theory find their way here, from any point in time, from any of those endless possibilities. There are two Byleths here, for example--a man who fought for Dimitri, and a woman who fought for Claude. There are two Sylvains, Felixes, and Claudes, as well. And now..... it seems there are two of you.
