So. Question for everyone. Uh, these regains. I was told some could be pretty heavy or whatever but. A virus killing off anyone over thirteen, and vampires taking over? That seems pretty huge. Not sure if anyone else has a memory like that but. This was already annoying enough. Remembering meeting that blonde haired brat at the orphanage, and everything else with this damned thing. And I've only had this what? Not quite a month yet. I don't want to be remembering some virus killing everyone on Christmas, but now I sure won't get that out of my head.

Every time I see these damned decorations now I'm going to remember that. Shit. The hell does anyone actually adjust to dealing with this stuff? Do you ever? Or is it still just insane?

Focus on it, but don't force yourself to get over it, either. I should have made that clear, sorry. Just...
I'm trying to move on from my memories, I guess, but I tried too hard to erase them from my mind instead of accepting that they happened and moving forward.

Well, belated welcome to the network? A month's not a really long time, but it probably feels long, huh?

[dejerate]

Your memories of this other place and other you aren't easy either, huh?

Kind of. Yeah. I'm still figuring a lot of this out, really.

[ladytakamaki]

Some of them are, some of them aren't. I just...try to remind myself that it's what's in the now that matters more than back then.

I'm Ann, by the way!

[dejerate]

What's in the now. We can't know,
maybe the 'now' for the other us is those memories we see.

Ah, Yuu. Yuichiro, I mean. But most everyone just calls me Yuu.

[ladytakamaki]

I'm talking about what's 'now' for our current selves, if you know what I mean? It gets confusing sometimes, but I try to keep my life here as separate as my 'other life' as I can.

It's nice to meet you, Yuu! You can talk to me if you need someone to listen, okay?

[dejerate]

That too. Yeah. I got enough to worry about with school, finishing that and figuring what to do after.

But uh, sure. Thanks for the offer at least.
