Cyrus can be at two places at once?! I had no idea he had that ability. How wild!!

Though maybe Cyrus didn't even realize he had the ability, and that, and not the fact that the other man was wearing a more attractive dress, was why Cyrus was so stunned...

(Actually, I have no idea how you got that the man in the alley was also Cyrus, but hey, anything is possible on this show!)

That's not quite what I got.  :)  I got that there were two people in the alley - the man in the more attractive dress and Cyrus, who was also wearing a dress. And let's examine the full set up with your fill in to see how someone could get that:

"Cyrus was stunned when he looked out from the door to his lab and saw a man wearing an even more attractive dress than the one he had on in the alley!!"

Because it ends with "he had on in the alley," and because that "he" refers back to Cyrus, the way it's written could indicate to someone that Cyrus saw himself in the alley with the other man - and both were wearing dresses. It doesn't say something like "Cyrus was stunned when he looked out from the door to his lab and saw an even more attractive dress than the one he had on and a man was wearing it in the alley!!"  ;)

I see what you mean!  Lol.  Unintentional, weird slant on the caption, but hey sometimes those are fun.  (While the writer in me is cringing for not seeing it before!)

Magnus, there are very few things that are too obscure here, especially for me. [b003] [b003] [b003]
