Well we definately know they knew each other back then, even before he had to use the pills and the mask. What is with those pills anyway? Dullindal GAVE them to Rau, right? so what the hell are they for?
The Cloning process is imperfect. The pills are to stabalize the condition so they don't die from it.
Is the cloning process imperfect? I had always assumed that the problem was that cells can only divide a certain number of times, something called Hayflick limit i think, and if you clone someone then the clone someone who is in their 30s it is like a new person whose cells have already undergone 30 years of division, that is why Rey's telomeres are short i think, which would greatly shorten the life expectancy. I thought the pills were somehow suppose to slow down cell division or something, although I just assumed this without noticing anything in the show saying so.
