She wouldn't mistake him. Even though it's been such a while since the last time she's seen Martin, he looks the same. Sounds the same. There's no way it's just someone else who just happens to be called Martin too - especially since it's not even the first case of someone having appeared in Trench who was in Deerington before, but not remembering the dream at all.
"I mean, I could tell you something about you that a stranger wouldn't know, but I figure that'd be awkward."
After all, he knows nothing about her.
(Nothing, Ange thinks, feeling like someone dropped a huge block of ice right into the pit of her stomach.)
And here she knows relatively intimate details about him. It's got to be awkward on both sides, not just on hers.
"But I-- I guess it doesn't mean anything." She shakes her head.
Even though it does mean something to her. But what else is she supposed to say here?
"Since you.. or.. this "you" doesn't know me anyway."
It's not meant in a dismissive way towards Martin either. If anything, it's Ange trying to make things lighter for him, not wanting him to be pressured by something he can't even help. It's easier for Ange to bear the pain by herself, to shove it down into some dark corner where it won't bother anyone but her.
