Sakuya Haibara shared a photo. 04/01 near Recolle

You know, I was starting to feel a little left out of everyone else having strange hallucinations about things they never think they did, but then I received a photograph. The note stated it was me in the photo, but as you can tell, that's a little difficult to tell, and I've no idea who that girl is, either; it's not me as a child, that is for sure. More curious is the date says '1970' - that's before I was born. It didn't trigger any kind of hallucination either, so perhaps it was delivered to the wrong place? If it is someone else's, I would be happy to forward it to your address if necessary. Otherwise, I think it may be going in a box. It's kind of creepy.

[This didn't even get the memory part, that's the worst bit.]

No, not yet. I suppose it's going into a box, then.

Not that I expect a random picture from apparently 1970 to catch much attention out of the 150 or so people I've seen here.

it's certainly gotten quite a few replies!
i hope it doesn't bother you anymore
these deliveries can be a hassle to deal with

but hey auntie...
can i ask you about something?

[blooming_resonance]

Well, as long as people are aware of it, I suppose.

What do you need to ask?

[ghostories]

if i'm losing a lot of sleep, i should get that checked, right?

[blooming_resonance]

Yes, actually, you should. The brain has all kinds of issues if it doesn't get a proper amount of rest.

Is something the matter you'd like to talk to me about? Obviously not here.

[ She hopes it's only a biological problem. That, she can fix. ]

Yes. I'll call.

[ A few minutes later, Yuuko calls Sakuya on her personal phone. She sounds unsure... ]

Auntie?

[blooming_resonance]

[Not a big deal - she's expecting the call, so she answers immediately:]

Hello, Yuuko. So, what's the matter?

[ghostories]

I'm just wondering if there's... a name you can put to my condition. I've been sleeping less and less lately...

[blooming_resonance]

[It's definitely concerning, and she'll pick her family's brains about it, but she's going to get some information first...] Less and less... how many hours are you averaging per night now?

And... do you feel rested? Or are you noticeably tired?

[ghostories]

[ I'm dumb and didn't look at the date, but let's pretend this happens on the 7th. ]

Three? Two...? But I don't feel sleepy at all during the day. And—you know how your head hurts and your heart starts pumping faster the less sleep you run on? I haven't experienced that at all. I've been like this for a week now... I should be feeling great, but I'm worried.

[blooming_resonance]

If you're not feeling any adverse effects it may not have caught up to you yet. Have you been in for a checkup yet? And have you been drinking caffeine in excess lately?

[ghostories]

No... I don't think so.

[ As for the checkup, well. ]

You're not going to tell my father, are you?
