It's the problem with Alternate Self in general.

Fair, I guess. Thanks for help, anyway.
"Screw it, I AM going to enjoy this game!"
So we have person A and person B. They are good friends.
Then comes some alternate timeline shenanigans, and you get another version of A. From a timeline diverged so much that A never met B.
B has a friendly chat with alternate version of A, but it eventually comes down to "I know you technically know me, but I don't know you."
(Bonus points if the physical appearance of A and alternate A is similar enough that less familiar person would actually have problem telling them apart. Knowing my life, this might be too specific of a trope.)
