Alright everyone, now that you've had a week to get adjusted to the retrospec life by doing whatever the hell some stupid bingo card tells you to, It's time for some stranger on the internet with an inflated sense of self-importance to tell a cautionary tale as a thinly veiled excuse to fill out a spot on a bingo card. If you couldn't care less, go look for THE FUN BINGO PART a couple of paragraphs down.
By now I'm sure you've been told up and down about the hallucinomemories and the fact that you can undergo some physical changes, and if you haven't, well, now you have. And don't get me wrong, some of them are awesome. But you can also remember some pretty nasty stuff. Personally, I've remembered drowning in some lake after getting my ass beat. Or almost drowning, I guess, since I'm assuming (or hoping) I didn't just up and die before I hit puberty. I'm pretty sure memories like those are in the minority, but the fact of the matter is that you can remember some pretty disturbing stuff. It's good at getting in your head. Or sometimes the memories themselves aren't too bad, but you'll sit there wondering how the hell you could ever do something like that. Or maybe it's the reverse, and you wish you had the guts to do any of it.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to say you're actually your freaky counterpart or that the end is nigh or anything like that. In fact, I'm a pretty firm believer of the opposite. I'm not letting a handful of memories and some changes to my body decide what I want to do. All I'm saying is to watch out and be prepared for upsetting stuff you might not want to deal with. Talk to your friends about it. Don't try to take it on alone like some tough guy. Go to Fai's support group. Or don't. Do whatever you want, really. Maybe you won't even get any bad memories back, but there's your fair warning and friendly advice.
Anyway, now that I'm done preaching what I won't practice:
--> THE FUN BINGO PART <--
I realize some of you are looking for siblings to hang out with, so look no further than Toushiro Hitsugaya, who will absolutely murder me for suggesting this. He's a really good kid. The cool guy type, you know? He's a damn genius and he's athletic to boot. You should see him when he ice skates. But he's a little shy and has a hard time having fun, so you should all go drag him out to the movies or arcade or something, whether it's out of a genuine heartfelt desire to meet him or to fill out another slot on your bingo card. Just know that if you hurt him, I'll pulverize you.
