3rd Card {Text}

If you could see what was going to happen, if you had the choice, it coming to you in your dreams, would you want to? I know that might seem sort of. Similar to us remembering this other life we had, but. What I mean is a little different. I mean literally seeing what is to come.

Even these dreams, these other memories of this other life, they're hard enough to deal with. I guess sometimes it might be helpful to see what was going to happen, but. It still seems difficult? Lonely? What would you choose? I don't know what I'd want. What I end up choosing, but. I guess I'll find out.

I'm just glad things seem to be back to normal? More or less. As normal as things get around here anyway. With everyone disappearing before, I mean. And I hope everyone is alright now.

[Or. As alright as things could be. All things considered, especially with the whole ordeal with Mio and Leon at least. That she knows of. She could also mention Xiaolang's birthday coming up, but that was probably better done in talking to him in private first. On what he wanted to do for it.]

[THIS ISN'T FOREBODING OR ANYTHING..... but he is going to give that question some considerable thought, either way. ~~also he appreciates you not being public about his birthday, Sakura, THANK YOU~~]

... I'm not sure if I'd want to, exactly. As you said, it'd be good to know something in advance, to prepare for it properly, but... if you know it's already going to happen, there's not much you can do to change it if you don't want it coming to pass. It's frustrating, not being able to fix the past, but knowing you can't do anything about the future either...

'I guess I'll find out', though? Is something going on? Is this something you remembered?

I did. I remembered talking about my magic. Me being more powerful than Clow-san. So that meant I could see the future? That I have power not even he could control. Or I will?

If I want it.

[YUP, REASON TO BE CONCERNED NOW CONFIRMED]

More powerful than Clow? But... he left behind a huge legacy, didn't he? He had those cards, and those creatures, and I remember the other me speaking about the diaries and tomes he left behind with my family...

... is it something you want, though? Seeing the future, I mean. What your other self chose not be the same as what you would want to choose.

[ Ah... Andrew remembers her. ]

I don't think I'd be of much help when it comes to dreams foreseeing the future - although, if I were to venture a guess, if they are dreams that come when you are asleep, you don't have much choice in the matter anyway. Which... makes it not your responsibility but something to find a way to work around, or work with. That said - is your brother back and all right?

Do you have the chance to change what you see in your dreams, so if you see something bad you can prevent it? Or are you stuck?

[Sakura is a good kid. He hates to think of her witnessing upcoming tragedy and being unable to do anything about it.]

i would. even if it's something horrible i wouldn't be able to stop from happening, i could tell people who would be able to prevent it from happening. sure, it's really scary wondering if you're able to help at all, but i look back on a lot of situations and think "if only i'd known this was going to happen".

but, that's only if it's something serious. if it's just something like knowing if it's going to rain, or if the bus is going to be late, then yeah, i definitely want to know, no questions

[Reason to be VERY CONCERNED. Especially with the later Clear Card events due to her power only growing over time from here on.]

Right. That's why I'm confused. I didn't think I was that powerful with my magic. Or at least not from what I remembered before this.

I get the feeling whatever the other me chooses will be what I end up with though. Whether she decides it would be useful or not? But I'm not sure. Whether I'd want it. It sounds useful but. It could also be bad, right? If I saw something and nobody believed me, or see something I don't like.

Something to work around or work with. I guess. It's not like we get much of a choice really. With what we get from the app and our other lives.

But ah, yes. It's fine now.

I'm not sure. But if I tried to change something, I'm not sure if that might make things worse? I haven't actually had dreams about the future here. Not yet, anyway, but. From one of my memories, where we were talking about my magic, it might happen?

Are you talking about dreaming of the future? I don't think I'd like it very much. I'm already stressed enough when I don't know what's going to happen.

If I knew what was coming at me I might never want to go outside. I get nervous really easily though...

I think it might be more than just if it rains or the bus is late. But I guess that's true. Depending on the dream, others might be able to help figure it out. Though I'm not sure if I'd be able to change anything or not.

I haven't had a dream like that yet, it's just I remembered something and we were talking about my magic and how I was getting more powerful, that I could potentially see the future in my dreams.

Unfortunately. But I did just want to remind you that, if you don't like it, it's not what you *chose*. You don't need to feel responsible for those dreams or what they may show you. And I'm glad. Let me know if you need any help with the flowers we planted then, I'd always be willing to help.

I think everyone gets a little nervous sometimes though? But maybe not so much they don't go outside. Unless they have some really serious issues they need support on, anyway.

[There's a term for that, right? People who just stay at home all the time?]

I don't really remember you being as powerful as that either. At least... not in the earlier memories. It's possible you got stronger over time, but that's not exactly a bad thing, isn't it? Especially if you have the ability to control something he couldn't do.

[Xiaolang, you're going to regret the FUCK out of saying that once you remember all this Clear Card stuff--

But god, he's so sick of people close to him being on the verge of regaining things they Don't Want, Retrospec why do you even do this]

If it helps, you know you have the other people on the app who'd believe you if that did come to pass. You know strange abilities and powers aren't new to anyone here. And if you see something upsetting, I'm sure there's people here who'd be able to talk if you need it.

... that extends to me, too. If you wind up seeing these things, I'll be the first to listen, if you want me to. It might not fix things, but it might have been more than Clow had.

That depends. Is it impossible to change the future?

Because if not, then what would be the point in knowing what is to happen?

It might be worse. But it might be better? Depending on what you see, it might be worth trying. But I hope you don't get those dreams.

I guess it'd be really cool, but probably pretty hard. I mean, what if you still couldn't prevent it?

Not sure. Depends on if I could change the future I see or not.

Are you okay?

0-0 wait...you mean to say you can see into the future!? Or in other words, see what fate has plotted against you!?

Which one of us HASN'T wanted to see the future at some point or another? How often and detailed are these glimpses of the future?

Are the lottery numbers involved? If so, of course use it LOL

I could see that being something I would appreciate, really. Whether it could be changed or not. I'm sure there would be some sort of benefit to knowing, at least.

but isn't that why you ask your friends for help? if it's something you can't do by yourself, someone else might be able to

wait, this is real? not like a hypothetical? you have magic and can see the future in your dreams?

I don't have to feel responsible. I guess. It would be 'her' decision. I'm not even sure if it would work, to see the future of what happens here in Recolle, rather than back in her Japan.

Ah, really? I checked and they seem to be doing alright so far!

I guess. Maybe the more I got used to using the cards and all, the more powerful my magic got. But you're right. I'm sure you would believe me, and probably at least some others with the app too.

Thanks, Xiaolang. I haven't seen anything yet. But this memory -- I might. I might end up getting that ability.

I'm not sure if it is possible or not. Just that I would be able to see what is going to happen, through my dreams.

I'm not sure if I want to or not. But I guess in some things it could be useful. As scary as it might be.

I guess I can't really do anything but to wait and see.
