Does anyone know why people lose their memories when they lose their network access?

Uh. Kara's forgotten everything. I was out pouring snow on the fires, and then... yeah. Our dog's gone, too, but I guess it's because she got him from Retrospec. Most of my friends forgot, too. It feels pretty lonely around now, but... anyway, just letting you guys know.

Thank you very much.

-and seriously, I've told you you can call me Shuji, it's fine?

[maidofmistakes]

It's awkward!

[thesettingsun]

It's more awkward when you call me by my last name! Literally no one else does, I always think you're talking to my father or something!

[maidofmistakes]

Sorry... I just thought it was polite, plus you're way older.

[thesettingsun]

...I'm still in my twenties... I'm not old yet...

[thanks for the crisis]

[maidofmistakes]

I thought it was respectful!

[thesettingsun]

That means I have to start being respectable and I'm not ready for that!

[maidofmistakes]

I don't get how you're not respectable and mature and stuff, though.

[thesettingsun]

I'm pretty sure I've never been any of that?

[maidofmistakes]

You went to university. You're super popular. You wrote a whole entire book.

[thesettingsun]

[His first instinct is to argue that none of that actually counts because reasons, but he's at least self-aware enough to know that isn't behavior he should model in front of Lina.]

...I guess? If you say it like that?

[???]

[maidofmistakes]

No, seriously! You do lots of things. I kind of... don't.

[thesettingsun]

You're surviving school. That's more than hell enough already even without Retrospec.

[maidofmistakes]

You've got that right. I thought most people were all "you'll get over it."

[thesettingsun]

Those people clearly have forgotten what it was like to be in school.
