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.

Only that he was supposedly a jerk

[liberal_arts]

Really?

I suppose that's a possible reading. His smile looks so calm, though. But I guess it may be insincere.

[beneathmoonlight]

I wish I knew.

Someone even teased me that he might be my boyfriend...

[liberal_arts]

... Do you usually go for that type?

[beneathmoonlight]

I don’t

I don’t know!!

I’ve not really had any boyfriends or girlfriends before.

[liberal_arts]

Well do you find him attractive at all?

[beneathmoonlight]

[BLUUUUUSH.]

Um

Yes

[liberal_arts]

Well then maybe he did have a relationship of that sort with your other self. I have found that while we may have our differences, matters of aesthetic tend to remain consistent between the we of the now and the we of the past.

[beneathmoonlight]

Hahaha

Guess so

But he’s not here now so...

[liberal_arts]

Well, unless you have a photo directory of every single person in the city, you don't actually know that.

[beneathmoonlight]

I guess not

But

Hopefully he’d try to contact me if he was

[liberal_arts]

unless he's the type to not bother.

[beneathmoonlight]

[Ouch. That stings.]

I guess so...

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

[liberal_arts]

Well if he does decide to show his face eventually, it sounds like you owe him a give him a good scolding, either way.

[beneathmoonlight]

I guess so.

Anyway, thanks for talking to me for a bit.

I don’t think we’ve ever actually properly introduced each other.

[liberal_arts]

Proper introductions are a bit rare in the days of social media, in general. Especially since our names are just right there for all to read.

[beneathmoonlight]

I guess you’re right.

Maybe I should set up a profile so people can read about me.

[liberal_arts]

Ah, but can a simple online profile truly capture the essence of a man?

[beneathmoonlight]

Maybe not...but it’s a start, right? Then if people get curious they can ask more about me!

[liberal_arts]

True. So what would you put in your profile, then?

[beneathmoonlight]

My likes and dislikes, maybe? A little blurb about me? I’m not sure.

[liberal_arts]

Such as? No time like the present to put thoughts to words.

[beneathmoonlight]

Oh, well, I’m from Yokohama, Japan, and I’m turning 19 next month. I work at a bakery and I really enjoy reading in my spare time. I’m also going to college to be a social worker.

[liberal_arts]

It definitely makes you seem sweet, but it could use a little spice.

[beneathmoonlight]

Spice? Like what?
