ᯓᡣ𐭩 The collide between two versions of the game through file glitching wasn't necessarily a new situation for Narrator to find himself in, but he was surprised when this one yielded a new side effect— another storyteller
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Once finding out your name, Narrator was all content to just reset this run and fix the issue. But he quickly found out that the bug ran deeper than expected, as you were still there
ᯓᡣ𐭩 At first Narrator had to put the story on hold. He was admittedly a little annoyed, but he did his best to try and find the route of the issue. Once he seemingly stepped out, you tried to make a story for Stanley yourself. It was rather nice, as the protagonist seemed grateful to have a new voice to follow, until the original came back
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Technically, you countered, YOU were more befitting the title of "original" since you came from an earlier development than the current voice. Which quickly spurred an argument, Narrator's pride refusing to take a backseat as he bickered over the logistics with you
ᯓᡣ𐭩 The two of you ended up accidentally putting Stanley at the center of things, both of you getting back at one another by driving Stanley in your own directions, being smug when he picked your respective demands over the others'
ᯓᡣ𐭩 At some point, Stanley noted in sign how you two were remarkably similar despite your differences, especially in things like attitude and will. Which, of course, you and Narrator both denied vehemently
ᯓᡣ𐭩 The more you two talked to each other, the more Stanley began sensing something. There was admiration in the jealousy, pride in the competition, and familiarity in the wit. He began noting with suspicion how for two narrators that claimed to be at odds, you occasionally made the other better by bouncing off of one another's minds Narrator would sometimes even stand up for your ideas if Stanley disregarded them, but then immediately backtrack into teasing or snark.
ᯓᡣ𐭩 He was resigned to the fact that you two would take longer to notice your own feelings, so he did his best to act as usual as normal. Going off on his own path, picking to be defiant, everything Narrator was used to. It was going to be a long one, but in a limitless Parable, there's nothing but time to spare.
