Hello everyone...this may be an odd question, but...has anyone seen this man before? I received a photograph of him from retrospec...



I’ve seen him in my memories, and I feel like he’s important to me, but I can’t remember his name. Any information at all would be appreciated.

I don't know him, I'm afraid. Doesn't it kind of look like his cup has a Starbucks logo on it, though?

[beneathmoonlight]

Maybe?

Starbucks only has paper and plastic cups, though.

[floret]

They also often sell ceramic or glass mugs and tumblers, but you have to purchase them separately. I don't recognize that specific design, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that they once sold it...

(It's probably not a Starbucks logo. I just thought it was kind of interesting.)

[beneathmoonlight]

Ah. I guess you’re right.

Haha, that’s fine. It’s actually nice to be distracted from the implications of receiving a random photo with no context.

[floret]

I wonder if your past self is the one who took the photograph. Do the surroundings look familiar to you at all, or just the person?

[beneathmoonlight]

I don’t recognize it, unfortunately.

Ugh, this is so frustrating.

Why would retrospec give me this?

It’s like I’m in an anime or something!

[floret]

Maybe all of us are... though it's hard to imagine a production company putting money into animating some of the dumb things I've remembered.

Anyway, he looks awfully relaxed even though it seems he's covered in bandages. Do you think he's actually injured, or does he just wrap for the aesthetic?

[beneathmoonlight]

True...

I’m going to guess there’s something to cover up, but it probably doesn’t require all those bandages.

So both?

[floret]

Something to cover up? Like what?

[beneathmoonlight]

Scars. Or burns.

Or even tattoos.

[floret]

I wonder if he was trying to conceal his identity, then. Like, if there was something distinctive about his arms and neck. (Of course, if people are on the lookout for a guy with a bunch of scars or tattoos all over his arms, they'll probably also notice a guy with a bunch of bandages...)

Maybe it was an invisible man situation, and he was mostly transparent but used bandages to avoid weirding people out.

[beneathmoonlight]

Maybe...

I guess I won’t know until I remember him.

[floret]

It must be really unnerving and frustrating to have something like this and not know what it means. I'm sorry.

[beneathmoonlight]

It’s okay. Thank you for talking to me. I appreciate it.

[floret]

For what it's worth, I don't think he looks like a bad guy.
I hope you remember more soon.
