[recollecters]

Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

But it isn't the past, Sakura.

Forgive me for saying so, but I have memories of my past and they lead me to be who I am now. The memories that you are having now, you did not live through them, did you? If something is difficult, you can always decide to discard it. I may be speaking flippantly as someone who has not received any memories, but do we not do that with the memories we had before? Did we not decide that we need not hold onto something because it no longer had meaning or value to us?

So, as unfortunate as what has been remembered, do know that you always have the choice to destroy it.

[-- You think she hasn't tried--

No. She isn't going down that hole right now. It was hard enough with Mateus, and she almost lost a friend in that emotional crossfire. She promised herself she'd be stronger.]

I'm not sure how to discard them.

They're very invasive.

[livingimpaired]

Then, the problem might be something else...

Do you want to discard them? Or do you want to master them?

[Another long pause on her end, filled with words and backspaces, weakly trying to craft her words into something honest but socially acceptable]

Either is fine.

[So long as the pain stops, she isn't picky.]

[livingimpaired]

Well.
Think on which one you want.
Because I'll help with either.
That'll be something else for you to think on, then, Sakura.
Because these memories, if you want, are part of you and are you.
Or they aren't.
Once you decide, I will do all I can for you.
Because in the end, I wish for you to be happy.
That is a promise I made to myself as soon as I came to know you.

You're very kind, Shigaraki-san.

I'm lucky to have met you.

[livingimpaired]

Thank you.
I've never had someone say that they felt lucky to have met me.
So thank you.
I feel the same way.
