A general inquiry...

[justfists]

Good morning! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

I know that it's a busy time right now, and we all have something we're working on, but I received my first memory.

In it, I was tasked with looking into a rumor about these "Phantom Thieves." I wouldn't have said anything here, but I saw Phantom Thieves merchandise on my way to class.

Has anyone else heard of them? I'm... not actually sure that they're good people, so the merchandise was a little surprising.

[justfists]

Oh, no. I don't think these are for the same show at all.

[cattack]

Are you sure?
The merchandise does look like it belongs with a children's show.

[justfists]

It does, but maybe it's a different one?

[cattack]

I suppose...
Are you certain the merchandise here is for the same 'phantom thieves' as your visions?
It's a common trope, isn't it?

[justfists]

It's certainly possible. A phantom thief is a pretty common trope throughout the globe, so...

[cattack]

I understand being concerned.
Retrospec is, after all, a huge problem, and these visions can be, without exaggeration, hell.
But I wouldn't be too worried yet, unless you get more visions about it.

[justfists]

Alright. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for the advice.

[cattack]

It's no problem.
Are you new to Retrospec?

[justfists]

Yes, I am. This is my first "memory."

[cattack]

I see...
It may help if you think of them as visions rather than memories.
The visions need not have any bearing on you.

[justfists]

But they're tied to a previous life, aren't they? I don't know if disassociating them so completely is possible for me.

[cattack]

So we're told.
But I don't believe in anything Retrospec says.
"Past life" or no, I'm still myself, not the person from my visions.

[justfists]

Do these... visions concern you?

[cattack]

Yes.
Wait.
Do you mean yours in particular?
No, mine don't involve thieves, to my knowledge.
But the visions are worrying and can cause many, many problems.
