Well, this is pretty nerve-wracking, but I finally uploaded some music I composed. It's just four songs, between college and everything happening in Retrospec, I've been, well, pretty busy this year. But I hope to compose more soon!

Anyway... you can listen to them here. Please enjoy them.

And in less good news ... I had a rather troubling conversation with a ghost...

According to him, our Earth isn't what it seems. Apparently, while Recolle's real and stable, the rest of the world is actually a recreation of other Earths. It was made to be a centralized hub for planets across the galaxy that were destroyed, and Recolle's essentially the capital. It was all formed and balanced from the soul energy being generated by this city and the people here, and it's not exactly stable.

Good news, all the people outside of Recolle in this world are real, so it's not like our lives were fake. But bad news, if anything should happen to Recolle, the rest of the world would disintegrate. So...no pressure?

Oh, and has anyone heard anything about a river of souls beneath Recolle? A friend heard about it from another ghost, but we don't know much.

Sorry for all the troubling news. This isn't how I expected this post to go.

If there's a time where we'd have a chance at it, maybe it would be now. In the middle of all these celebrations of the sending on of the dead. The candles and lanterns lit up for everyone else.

Somebody has to have the ability to change it, don't they? I know too many powerhouses, nobody with psychic or spiritual abilities.

That's true...there might be more powerful to send them to the afterlife, however that works.

Me too. The only person I can think of is Li-Na- she mentioned her other self was an Exorcist. Though her power seems to be boots that make her fly really fast ... not sure how they'd be applied in this situation.

Never talked to her, myself, but she'd be someone to ask.

..

What do you think about the first part of what you said, though? Our lives are still real. That I've never doubted. So then why are we the ones who have to have these lost souls attached to us?

[fiddlestick]

You should! She's really nice!

That's...a good question. I'm not sure there'll ever be a clear answer on that. I mean, there is a chance that everyone in this world is a reincarnated soul from another place, they just haven't...realized yet?

I'm not sure, honestly.

If it were simple reincarnation, maybe I'd be more accepting of this. That we remember their lives, but that their lives don't have a chance of taking us over.

That's the question it always comes back to, isn't it? At the end of this, will we still exist? Our own memories aren't being lost, but our bodies are.

[Oh. Except Togusa forgot something.]

Except. I can cut down my own theory, because I've got proof now that there aren't physical brain changes happening to us. No physical evidence that we're getting double the memories.

I... I don't know. I hope we will...

[Yeah that first part is full of troubling thoughts, because as happy as Elliot was to find someone he shared a past life with, he didn't want to give up this life. He was happy in this life. Giving up all his friends and family...he couldn't do it

Hearing the second part? Makes him jump on it]

Really? So no double the memories means nothing is being erased when we remember things?
