Penelope Raban 6/24 near Apprassage

Hello everyone, I've got a question for everyone. This is something I've been thinking about for a few weeks now, and I'd like to get your opinions on it, as well as possibly some advice. I know a lot of us have been having those wild hallucinomemories lately, and whoever came up with that word is brilliant. And I know a lot of us have been struggling with them because some of them are outright terrifying. What I want to know is if you saw someone that you knew in your hallucinomemories doing something that scared you, or made you afraid, would that affect how you view them here in Recolle? Is this who they were, who they are, or who they will be again, basically. I know that's a pretty weird question, but I'm not really sure how I feel and it got pretty real for me recently. Any thoughts are appreciated, seriously. Cheers, Pen.

Goro Majima I think the way a person tries to be matters.
Goro Majima Right now, in the present. Regardless of what they did before or what they'll do again.
Goro Majima If someone is trying to do right, even for a little while? That's important.

Penelope Raban And if it is, isn't it possible that their other side might come back and hurt you?

[sotenbori]

Goro Majima Maybe it could.
Goro Majima But how can you fault someone for something they're trying not to be?
Goro Majima How would you feel if someone held you accountable for something they "remembered" about you?

[mincingminuet]

Penelope Raban I haven't decided if I am or not.
Penelope Raban But I remember someone trying to kill me, personally.
Penelope Raban And that's the only reason it's even up in the air.

[sotenbori]

Goro Majima Do you think they'd do it again?

[mincingminuet]

Penelope Raban I don't know.
Penelope Raban It isn't outside the realm of the possible, even if it isn't plausible.

[sotenbori]

Goro Majima Do they have a different relationship with you, now?
Goro Majima If you're considering this so heavily, I'm guessing you have reason not to want to cut ties

[mincingminuet]

Penelope Raban They're a family friend. I grew up around them, but they're a lot older.
Penelope Raban Cutting ties would be hard.

[sotenbori]

Goro Majima Maybe in your memories, the two of you have a really different relationship
Goro Majima They dont know you like they do now

Goro Majima In situations like these I try to go with my gut
Goro Majima You gotta trust yourself sometimes. Trust what you think should happen.

[mincingminuet]

Penelope Raban Is that how you've handled things?

Penelope Raban Not to pry, but it sounds like you've had similar experiences with this.

[sotenbori]

Goro Majima Yeah.
Goro Majima I've had my share of scary memories.
Goro Majima But those circumstances were way different. It wasn't the same as who we are now.

[mincingminuet]

Penelope Raban And you just went with your gut.
Penelope Raban I'll do that. I need to talk to this person. They need to know, at least.
Penelope Raban Thank you.
