finding things?

[lostapprentice]

putting aside the fact that two colors have been removed from the spectrum for the sake of my own sanity: does anyone recognize this?



i found it near my work and got the sense that it was mine, even though i've never seen it. i know that whoever's behind all this has sent people strange items directly, but has anyone just found things seemingly at random?

i liked that other guy's helm better.

even if there is some sort of karma that goes into this, it was still another place and another life. it doesn't define us.

i don't like the idea of having to take responsibility for things i didn't do.

[true_noir]

And for me, it is less the responsibility so much as the fact that I don't want to have been the person or done what they have done. But in the end, it is the same.

[lostapprentice]

i feel the same.

i suppose i should thank you for offering to listen. [That's him actually thanking her. What are manners.] that i'm not the only one to feel that way is encouraging, especially after that post earlier suggesting that our lives aren't real.

[true_noir]

You're welcome.

Naoto is struggling for answers. He is a very logical boy, and wants to deduce all things, so he runs from theory to theory. I can't fault the intent, but I think he is reaching a little hard this time, prematurely. We don't know enough yet to say something like all that.

That, and I'd prefer it if he's wrong.

[lostapprentice]

i'm not typically a patient man myself, but it sounds like he needs to wait before making assumptions. [Kids. Bah.]

i'm fairly certain we aren't going to be able to figure this out only a few months into it.

[true_noir]

I suspect that the lack of information is frustrating him. I won't argue that he shouldn't wait to be so definitive. But time will help us answer the questions more truthfully.

[lostapprentice]

i wasn't the only one agitated by what he said, from what i can see.

perhaps in his search for logic he forgot to consider people's feelings.

[Not that... he... can really talk...]

[true_noir]

I have known him off and on for a while. We were in cram school together. Naoto has a somewhat underdeveloped empathy. Sweet boy, but not really the most aware of other's feelings. Very much the cold, logical detective sort. Appropriate that he wants to be a policeman.

[lostapprentice]

i'm not sure it's all that appropriate if he can't understand people's feelings, but i suppose better a policeman than a therapist.

[... probably?]

[true_noir]

Heh, well he's just a student, like me, right now. He's not a policeman yet after all. Just a very precocious investigator if you will. The situation makes for strange alliances.

[lostapprentice]

[GRUMPS ABOUT IT.]

i can agree with that, at least. i doubt i would have met most of the people i have in the past month without this entire experience.

[Or even if he had met them, he probably wouldn't have cared enough to talk to them.]

[true_noir]

I might have met one or two, as I would be in college next semester, and there are some that I would definitely have at least met once because of my applications, but most of them? No, and certainly not this closely.

In a way, that is something I forgive them for. The new friends have been nice.
