Oh wow, Malik is good-looking in all universes! One noticeable difference though, he's seemingly more upbeat for some reason. No idea why. Gotta get to the bottom of this though, so let's follow him into his universe. As the Malik we know steps through into this alternate universe with his fellow counterpart, he immediately feels more free, more happy, elated even. What is this feeling? In this universe, is Malik more powerful perhaps? Is he a bigger superstar? Is he a dictator, free to do as he pleases? No...doesn't seem like it. Anyways, let's just follow along with this other Malik's daily routine till we figure it out. Nice house, but not much different. Still plays for NOLA, so that's well and great. Let's get up for practice. Same building...same locker room....same spot...wait. No. It can't be. How?!?!?!? You're telling me Valterri Kauppinen isn't on this Malik's line? He's not on the team? What team does he play for? You've never heard of him? Oh my god. He doesn't exist in this universe? I'm moving here. No no, I'm not coming back. Consider this the end of this discussion.
