hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him.

looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess.

pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever.

that's about it.

wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess.

and that's really it. later.

i got a skydiving memory
or when i was apparently accepted into a herd of elephants
that was pretty nice

[he did not and was not]

[He’s very gullible.

Very. Gullible.]

Really? That sounds like fun!

I’m too afraid of heights to go skydiving.

And elephants are super smart!

being afraid of heights would probably just making skydiving better
so long as you don't pass out and miss the whole trip down or anything
or barf
midair barf sounds terrible

elephants are super smart
they must've accepted me as one of their own
they talked too

[Maybe not THAT gullible.]

Oh...yeah, puking mid-air wouldn’t be good...neither would passing out.

Oh. You were joking. Haha...

what?
that can't be the craziest thing you've ever heard

I guess not.

I remembered a monster in my other life, after all.

and you drew the line at talking elephants...
you're definitely new here

I’ve only been here a month...

I did see some odd things though.

Like moving vines and stuff.

And a demon thing in my memories.

nice!
sounds fun
lots of variety i like it

I’m not sure about fun...

Anyway, I think I’ll just try to hope for the best for now.

spare some of that optimism for your past life!
maybe it's better than you think

Ah, you’re right.

Maybe I’ll get back a silly memory or something.

Surely it can’t be all bad.

maybe not?
life's too long to be nothing but sorrow
that sounds
really fucking exhausting

It does.

I just have to stay positive and focus on my life here in the city.

not what i meant
are you one of the people in denial about your other life?

No.

I just realize that it’s different from my life now.

so
what
the old life doesn't matter as much so you'd rather focus on what exists in front of you?
or it's hard to swallow because it's full of monsters so you'd rather forget again

What?

That’s not what I’m saying at all!

What can I do to change what’s already happened?

Shouldn’t I focus on the future?

if you don't like people asking questions you should be clearer
but you're not getting what i'm saying either so how about this

your future probably still includes glimpses of this old life, you know?
for as long as you have this app
do you really think you can keep living as you have been?
is that what you want to do?
because that might just make it harder for you to reconcile

I guess I’ll just have to adapt as the memories slowly come back, right?

I won’t ignore them, but I’m still me too.

I can keep going, even if those memories are painful.

see that's a real answer
it's none of my business but focusing on too much of what they know
and things hopefully staying the same
ehhhh it doesn't work out so hot for those people

but if you can say that
and do that
maybe you won't have as many growing pains
