[3] literally why

[covenantal]

Yu Narukami shared a photo. 6/2 near Apprassage

I didn't have time to take a picture of the real thing before I left this morning, but Retrospec sent me a golf club just like this one. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it. I don't know how to golf. ┐(´ｰ｀)┌ Also, has anyone else ever had a feeling like something they see around the city is ... theirs? I can't explain it. Like it belongs to you, even if you've never seen it before that moment.

Exhausting. At first I could barely use the power at all without feeling extremely tired. It got better with practice, but I still have this feeling as if I haven't yet tapped my full potential. We also summon beings called Personas, to use the power for us. I can't use fire directly.

[glaciers]

You don't just set yourself on fire like it's a normal thing? [He might be joking. Maybe.]
I wonder if all powers feel like they haven't hit their full potential yet.

[covenantal]

Only on Firedays. [ fridays. firedays. eh? eh????????? ]

That's possible. I guess we'd have to ask around if we really wanted to find out.

[glaciers]

[Why must he keep reading and hearing puns.]

Probably. I don't know how willing people would be to share.

[covenantal]

[ because he chose to talk to a persona protagonist. ]

That's a good point. You could put up a survey of some kind, and whoever wanted to would volunteer their information. Anyone who didn't could just stay quiet.

[Regrets.]

I'm not sure I'd want to fill out a form like that to begin with.

[covenantal]

It's just a thought. I can ask my friends that I know have powers, at least.

[glaciers]

I don't think any of the people I know have powers.

[covenantal]

Are any of the people you know also present in your visions?

[glaciers]

One person.
He doesn't have the same green highlights in his hair, but other than that.
I think he's the same.

[covenantal]

He may have powers too. Most of the people I know that have some kind of special ability are from my group. A number of us who share memories and similar powers. It may be true of the person you know as well.

[glaciers]

The alternate him did something to his hand and the pressure was enough that I guess I subconsciously lit myself on fire.
If that's a thing.

[covenantal]

... I guess it must be a thing, considering. I can't say it's a thing I understand, though.

[glaciers]

That makes both of us.
I always thought powers like that needed conscious control.

[covenantal]

Is it possible to say things like "this is the way it should be" anymore?

Even just a few months ago, I thought the supernatural was still ridiculous. But now it seems like anything's possible, doesn't it?

[glaciers]

Not really.
But I can still say "That's weird" about my alternate's memories, right?
With all of this weirdness, nothing seems as impossible as it did a month ago.

[covenantal]

Yeah. It's definitely weird. Everything that's happening... weird doesn't even describe it.

My twin and I just moved here in December. It's crazy to think how much things have changed since then.

[glaciers]

I've lived here my whole life, how did I miss all of this?

[covenantal]

Until we had Retrospec's app on our devices... none of us noticed a thing. Which just invites the question of whether we're really "realizing" things, or they're making us see what they want.

[glaciers]

Being six inches tall felt real. Every mention of blue and green was erased.
