Ah... Joshua and I met about a year ago! I didn't know very much about him then, but I've learned a lot more. His... the horns on his head make him into a different person, and he doesn't talk about his life back before he got the horns. But there's one thing he talks about all the time, his sister. She's his loss, so... he doesn't remember very much about her, but he's been told a few things by other people from his world.
