For those who know Minako Arisato, I spoke to her this morning.
I am not sure what happened, but it seems she no longer has any memory of Retrospec.
And everything she received from Retrospec, including her dog, seems to be gone.
I know she had many friends on this app, so I felt it best to say something.
If anyone knows of someone who has remembered Retrospec again after forgetting it in this way, please share what you know.
I think many of us would like to know.

[Ren has been considering things like this recently, in the wake of someone from his memories appearing. But it's unsettling enough that he doesn't want it to just be out in public for everyone to read. Not yet, anyway.]

there's someone i've met who was removed and added again. but he's not the same, and he doesn't remember the last time he was aware of retrospec.

Can you tell me what you mean by 'not the same'?

he doesn't seem like exactly the same person.

[It's a bit difficult to explain, especially since he only knew the man previously for such a short period of time.]

he looks the same, sounds the same. but the way he carries himself is different. he was military before, but now he's a teacher, and i don't think it was just a matter of changing careers.

That... is odd.
I don't know what to make of it at all.

[lostapprentice]

i don't like it, but it's almost like he was replaced or rewritten, somehow. i don't know if the first man i met is still here. i lost track of him months ago. all i know is that i met him in pesgare two months ago, he was aware again, and he didn't seem to remember being on retrospec before.

i haven't brought it up since then.

I think that is the most horrifying news I've heard of Retrospec yet.

[lostapprentice]

which is why i'm hesitant to share it with everyone. even if it feels important to know, it's not something that's easy to process.

i'm sorry to hear about your friend. i don't know if the same might happen to her, if she were to be added again. i remember hearing of others who simply forgot and remembered again without any complications like this.

[The bad news came first, now it's time for the... potentially optimistic news?]

[cattack]

I pray you are right.
It seems... bizarre, to say the least.
That all of this might happen.

[lostapprentice]

hasn't that been the case for the last year?

i would be more surprised at this point if something "normal" happened.

[cattack]

I hate to say it, but I agree.

[lostapprentice]

i would hope so, given the fact that you have a tail.

[Once that happens it seems like expectations would change entirely. Before sending the message, however, he adds an extra note:]

it's been a while. how are you?
