One of the works of Laurent Parcelier, a French impressionist. Impressionism has always been one of my favorite art traditions. This may seem like an odd question, but has anyone ever thought about themselves in more abstract terms? Not as a person born, but as a work crafted? Maybe that's a little too weird, even for someone like me, though.

I'm sorry we don't have a Major yet to answer this question, I'll do the best I can.

Hitori Togusa An interesting idea. There's always an argument over whether our innate selves or whether our environments have more of an influence on who we turn out to be as people.
Hitori Togusa But I'll argue that we're never a finished product. Any particular outcome of that 'crafting' is always in flux. You're still growing, learning, changing.

That seems fair to say. If a person's existence is a work of art, than the artist has not yet set down their brush until life ends. That way, the complete work can be examined.

But even this feels somehow strange to me, lately. It's difficult to put into words.

Have you been experiencing some of the memories that people have been reporting? Something that doesn't fit with what you know before, but still feels true?

I've apparently been missed, on that front, but I can understand how that would make you feel this way.

It was less a vision, but more simply a name. And it felt as paternal to me as my own father's, but not as their son, but... as something else. It's really given me pause. I haven't been able to work on any of my recent pieces lately because of it.
