"Well, it definitely wasn't Larry. So yeah, I'm pretty certain."
Obviously, Sirius knows exactly who Newt's talking about, but Newt isn't sure how much he wants to get into it. He knows how weird it is for Kate, having her ex here but without any of the memories they'd shared on that island. The Harry of Darrow isn't the same one she'd known, though, they're two completely different dudes so it's nobody's fault he doesn't remember but that doesn't make it any less easier for her to have to deal with. She'd struggled with what to tell him and how much, but Newt thinks she'd done the right thing by keeping it to herself.
Ending up in this place is hard enough. It's hard to predict how any given person would react to being told there'd been another version of them somewhere else, too. One that had done some seriously heavy partying.
"He doesn't know who she is," Newt explains, shrugging a shoulder as he comes to a stop in front of the door to his lab. "Like... I don't know. That island was like Darrow except, y'know, on an island. Sometimes people come from there and remember. Other times, it's like nothing ever happened at all. I'm not really the best person to get this info from, though, I was never there. Which is really too bad because there were dinosaurs, how cool is that?"
