[ Dachi would think this entire situation is a bad joke if he knew anyone remotely capable of pulling off such a thing with the inclination to do so. This guy also seems clueless - another similarity! - so he's clearly not involved in anything of the sort. Whatever it is, Dachi has already grown tired of trying to convince himself that there's just some sort of cruel coincidence afoot.

He does note the possibility that now he is being misled or made fun of with such a question. But that brief, very subtle change in the other's demeanor did not go unnoticed. Something's there, and he can't walk away from this now. ]
