If someone asked him, hypothetically speaking, what he thought might happen if his head ever had a three way love affair between a spinning truck tire and hot asphalt, his answer would've probably began and ended at "Die messily."
Waking up in another country halfway across the planet two centuries and a month after the fact probably wouldn't have made it on the list even if he thought it over for more than half a second. If anything he would've just assumed he'd end up in the same place his brother went.
God, what would his brother have even said if he found out he got himself killed from pure clumsiness not even a month after he passed? Probably just laugh at him and pat himself on the back for keeping him alive this long...
Or, a teen with no legal name wakes up from a coma on a random morning in late September. The nurses tell him he is a victim of human trafficking. That would explain why he's in Japan, but not why his last memory is getting his head crushed between a truck tire and hot asphalt on the hottest day in August two hundred years ago.
Or why he suddenly has super powers. Plural. Apparently that's not normal. As if anything else was.
