[There's certainly no immediately apparent bullshit in Baldr's demeanor, nor in his words. He's simply stating the facts as he knows them-- whether or not Zelos believes them is up to him.]
You traveled with Lloyd-san and Colette-san and Kratos-san in your world, which was known as Tethe'alla. To be more precise, you were the Chosen of Tethe'alla.
[In truth, he doesn't know Zelos anywhere near as well as he knows some of the other nexuses simply by virtue of the fact that Zelos works with the Salvation Front rather than with Ix and the others. Still, he's been around long enough to pick up more than a few things from osmosis, so hopefully that will be proof enough.]
Yes. [...] As unbelievable as it may sound, I swear to you that it is the truth.
[Whether Zelos believes him on that front or not... well, it's not as though it particularly matters when this Zelos only sees him as a stranger to begin with. He can't expect something that never existed.]
No, if you truly are the original Zelos, then you would have no memories of me. There's nothing unexpected about that, and I'm certainly not offended that you don't know who I am.
[In some strange way, it's actually easier. There's less of an emotional entanglement here than there would be if Zelos actually recognized him, and it makes him feel that much... safer, he supposes. Zelos can't compare him to the Baldr he would remember...]
But as to whatever is going on here... your guess is as good as mine, I'm afraid.

Okay, okay, fair enough. [ enough shit dads, please. ] So... what, the ones you know are all basically copies of the real thing?

I feel like this is the next logical step from "there are actually two worlds that used to be one," honestly. Not to mention whatever's going on here.
Even if I've got whatever memory-gap thing that's going on here and just don't remember you, you seem to know enough that it might hold some water.
[ Just some, though. ]
