Ahhhhhh, I see.  So instead of his intro scene and the "hahaha" lady
being at the same time as the scenes around it, it was two years
later.

Ahhhh!  Okay.  I thought the divergence point was just him being
around to help.

...wait, though. Wasn't Melissa created using Doctor Stomper's
technology in the first place?

Oho. If I ever do an LNH2 story...

Oh, I see. *frantically edit wiki*

Gotcha. This is the native-to-the-LNH-timeline WM.

So he wears the same thing as above?
