is it better that he didn't get this memory when he was 9, who can say

[belowaverage]

Who else remembers historical figures in their past lives, except they're weird?

I'm not talking 'oh I met Lincoln once and he was a little more casual than history books make him out to be' or whatever. I'm talking about 'Francis Drake was a woman with gigantic breasts' kind of weird.

That's not a hypothetical example.

Of course.

It's not like they can really hurt us after all.

[belowaverage]

They sure can give nightmares and fuck up your sleep schedule, though.

[mincingminuet]

Well, yes. They can if you dwell on 'em.

[belowaverage]

It's hard not to dwell on dying, in my experience.

[mincingminuet]

And you remember that now?

[belowaverage]

Unfortunately.

[mincingminuet]

I'm sorry, Shinji.

[belowaverage]

It's okay. [No it's not.] I'll get over it eventually.
