[ I mean she's still out in Magatus but there's a thought which has sort of lingered in the back of her mind for a while now and as such more to clear her mind from thoughts of wolves and the thoughts of her own son (including of all things puns, why??? she's going to put out vaguepost in the form of: ]

So does anyone else have children in the memories they've been getting?

To answer my own question the woman I am in my memories has a son and then her son has three children as well.

[ So this tbh pretty young looking 41 year old is a grandmother in her memories but that's beside the point. ]

I should hope so, given she was your daughter!

I had one son, his name was Henry. I've remembered more about him as an adult than a child though, unfortunately.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, exactly.
Maybe if I hang out with more kids...?
I dunno.

That's really nice, though.
Getting to see your kids grow up is part of the dream, isn't it?

[matchbreaker]

Oh yes, of course. She was so proud of him!

But it's also not like I've lived that whole life, or at least, I don't remember it. It's strange, to have that catharsis-feeling without the build up, you know?

[judgementkazzy]

Ah. Yeah, I know what you mean.
I had something similar.
Maybe not similar, but kind of strange, too.

Majima remembered that he fought to save Haruka because she was so important to me.
But I haven't remembered enough to really feel that way, you know?
But I *should* care about her.
She was my closest family...

[matchbreaker]

Yeah?

No, that makes sense.

I guess for me, I'm admittedly eager to experience more family, to fall into it all. But it's still a step removed while not being a step removed.

[judgementkazzy]

I think I'd like to remember.
My family must have been important to me... it might explain some things I've remembered, too.

But it is strange, especially since they aren't here.
Doesn't it get sad, since you can't see them for yourself?

[matchbreaker]

Of course it is. I've had plenty of times when I lingered on it and I couldn't help but feel morose. Or times where I've doubted if it was even valid to feel that way.

After all, I have a family here.

One of my sons put it into perspective for me though. And so now ... well, I just want to know more. But maybe I'm in a melancholy mood if I'm asking if anyone else has experience with something like it.

[judgementkazzy]

Right.
It's a strange feeling.

I don't think it's bad to want to know more.
And knowing that others are going through what you're going through... it helps especially when you're feeling sad.

[matchbreaker]

Yes, that's more or less in line with my thoughts.

I ... don't have any end to this, though. Just the inquiry.

[judgementkazzy]

That's fine.
Sometimes it's just good to know that other people are out there.
Going through similar things.

At least for me.

[matchbreaker]

It's the same for me.

Or at least, if I'm asking this, it must be.
