[ Posted sometime around like four in the morning: ]

Has anyone else found themselves falling in love with someone in those memories we all get? That might feel a little extreme, but the face has been sticking with me for a while now.

How tragically romantic sounding, just like in one of those fancy novels with time travel and magical cabinets and reincarnation.

To answer your question, no, that's not happened to me. But who knows what the future holds.

[matchbreaker]

That makes it sound more poetic than it actually is I feel like.

[yakan]

Really? But doesn't people generally like poetic stuff when it's about romance?

[matchbreaker]

Oh I know I do, but when it's a little one-sided, it's not really that romantic, more just confusing!

[yakan]

I can't say I know what that's like. Maybe it'll get less confusing with time?

[matchbreaker]

Possibly more? I don't know, really. It's been a long time already.

[yakan]

[matchbreaker]

Hahaha, wow! That sounds about right but I'm probably further along! On time, I mean.

[yakan]

You think so? Are you SURE?

[matchbreaker]

God knows I hope so? I've been on this app for over a year now

[yakan]

So it'd only be about four more of this roller coaster! It'll be over in a flash!

[matchbreaker]

Oh heavens, you think this'll all take five years?

[yakan]

If you estimate it by that chart but I could add a longer line for the years that goes beyond five years.

[matchbreaker]

I sure hope it's not that long. Or maybe... well, I guess this might be the rest of my life if I remain on this app. But it's all far too late to think of this.

[yakan]

It's not too late if the option to choose ever appears. But anyway it's not like we know at all how long this will be a thing. Maybe when it ends it'll coincide with the end of the world, even.

[matchbreaker]

What, you mean choose to be on here or off? Honestly, I'm seeing this through to the end.

[yakan]

I guess that I might be, I'm not sure. But I see. It would be frustrating to not see how the story ends after this long... Or something like that?

[matchbreaker]

That's the big part of it, honestly. But at this point, I've also just been confronted with far too much and I just think it works better to see that world come back alive.

If that's even how it works.

[yakan]

Does that mean that you think that the worlds that we keep seeing is of dead worlds?

[matchbreaker]

I mean Retrospec has said as much, and I don't really have a reason to doubt it if I assume they're real in the first place (and I do)
