one tama connected to the oter but the other 'failed', the one that 'connected' took the details of the other tama and continued on as if it would if they were connected. Just as if you walked away with one tama wile connected to another you wouldnt lose your tama, this must have been a safety thing so people couldnt lose their tamas wile connected. its always a copy that goes onto the other screen. It has a time limit so if it doesnt get the signal that the 'connection' is over, after a few minutes your tama will appear again anyway
