005 ★ a few serious questions

[promisedyou]

[Mio's been left alone with her thoughts for a very long while and she can't help but feel avidly curious about a few things. She needs to confirm them, just to be safe.]

Hey, Retrospec.

I didn't get the chance to ask these questions since I didn't find out until recently, and I'm not exactly sure if I'm correct or not, but there's definitely a few things I want to ask. I need to be absolutely certain.

Can someone on the application change? Not changes as in memories or regaining their past lives, but rather... Can their memories and histories of their lives in Recolle change altogether? Can memories of someone who a person used to be close to be altered into something different?

Also, a follow up question. Has anyone been having weird dreams lately? Of people being in their dreams that usually aren't? I know it was just yesterday for me, but my dreams before that have been rather distinct and difficult to just simply forget, so I want to know if it's just me or not.

And if you're not interested in either of those questions... I already asked for cute things last time, so I'll ask this: tell me something funny you've experienced or seen recently. It can be anything.

Theoretically anything is possible where Retrospec is concerned. But I have a feeling you're bringing this up because you think it's happened.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Not just memories of my time in Recolle either.
Whole life histories.
I was born in a different country last year than I was this year.
Different family, different university, different driver's license, the whole bit.

Then it happened to a friend of mine.
One day he's ex-military working in a car repair place
The next day he's five years younger, has no idea who I am, and has had his own woodworking business for a couple of years.

even if someone did change like that
how would any of us even know it

If we accept that we can have memories of a life not our own (at least, not the one we live here), I think we should also accept that our memories of the life we lived here may also be suspect.

That's not to say that they necessarily are, just that the opportunity does present itself.
So... perhaps? I don't see why not.
