It'd probably be good if you knew about a specific thing. [Peter rests his elbow against the tabletop. His usual ravenous appetite squelched for the moment as he frowns.] I'm not even sure why this happened, but... Donnie forgot Leo existed at all.

He remembered the rest of their family, but not Leo. It lasted for a long time too.

[Casey's eyes widen at that, quietly horrified.]

They had the power to do that?

[Poor Leo...]

The entities there caused a lot of bad stuff. People going crazy, changing shape, disappearing... [Peter answers with a deepening frown.]

Donnie remembered, thankfully, but it was... not great. [Leo had struggled with that, and all Peter could do was try to support him as a friend then.]

I- I can imagine. [It's not the same, but considering he's been dealing with a similar feeling of being the only one 'forgotten' by his family? He can deeply sympathize with how it must have hurt.] I'll... try to keep that in mind. That isn't something that anybody would be able to shrug off fast, even sensei.

[Though he'd fake it like the best of them.]

I can guess it... didn't really help things with them, but, they're figuring things out. [Peter is staying firmly out of Donnie and Leo's months long spanning argument.] It was already hard for them and Rue, and then that happened too.

Because they're not human?

[Easy to see the common denominator there. Earth of the past was... weird... about mutants and yokai.]

Yeah, the ADI really wasn't... friendly to non-humans. [Peter is aware he was mostly human enough, he was fine. He was mutated, but not outwardly. He was fine.]

The ADI started falling apart towards the end, and everyone was starting to break away to go on their own, but, the non-humans had nowhere else to go.

[Casey frowns tightly.]

I'm glad they came here then... that all of us did. No one cares if someone's human or not here.

[Who knows if he'd have met Peter or Rue otherwise. It's still not a perfect scenario - they're missing half the family - but at least they can be themselves.]

Its the biggest positive here, next to the freedom everyone has. I don't know what Thirteen is planning exactly, but... I'm thankful.

[He blows out a breath.] Sorry, this is probably way heavy to talk about over lunch. We're supposed to be hanging out.

You don't have to apologize. Hanging out doesn't mean it can't be serious. Otherwise, how are you supposed to share the big stuff with friends?

[Not that he's an expert at hanging out or friends his age, but it's a simple enough concept. Still, if Peter wants to lighten the subject, he won't object.]

[Peter blows out a short amused huff at Casey's point, his lips briefly quirking into a smile.] Okay, yeah, that's true- I just felt bad for getting so serious when we're trying new foods. We are friends, and its something worth talking about.

If we get introspective and serious every time we eat sushi, then we'll say its the sushi's fault. [He jokes idly back.]

[Casey laughs; clearly he's not that bothered about the seriousness of the prior topic. At the very least he bounces back quickly. In his world, if you can't recover from the more unhappy times and find cheer somewhere, you'll just always be miserable.]

Poor sushi, first it has wasabi to contend with, and now this.

These fish never deserved this. [Peter picks up another piece to pop into his mouth. He talks with his mouth full.] Though they are delicious like this.

It is pretty tasty. Good call on letting me try it out.

[He could really get used to eating stuff like this.]

We'll find the next thing to try out later, because there are so many options. Almost endless options honestly.

Fusion food will probably blow your mind.

What's that?

[Are you sick of him asking what things are yet?]

Fusion Food is when someone decides to combine two kinds of super different foods together to make something new. Like... Japanese and Mexican food, or Korean and Southern food. Its like a whole a whole sub section of restaurants.

[Never, Peter is happy to just hang out with Casey.]

Oh, wow... I'd like to try that, too. Though maybe I should make sure I try the original first? So I can appreciate the combination.

[There's already so many different types of food, and now there are combinations too!? Incredible. People are so creative.]

We need to figure out what you want to try next and go from there. Then fusion. [A plan is forming. A food plan.]

If Japanese and Mexican are a good fusion, we could start there?

[Since they're currently eating Japanese, that's half the equation done.]

Yeah, that'll be good! I'm sure Epiphany has at least one fusion place with that here. I mean... it has everything. [Peter is still trying to hit every food stall and stand he can. He assumes his whole spider metabolism is just extra hungry for some reason, unaware he's going to hit a growth spurt soon.]

That's true. Even just walking down the street earlier, it was kind of overwhelming. I might start working my way down the whole line of them if I can't decide what to eat.

[Though he ought to be cooking more. He won't get better if he always chickens out.]
