asking for a friend

Ritsu Kageyama 7/2 near Chata

Welcome to all the unfortunate new users of Retrospec. You should know the unnatural changes of the world also affect loved ones outside the city, who are oblivious as the non-Retrospec users here; you might also experience some physical changes or receive unwanted things in the mail. Usually at the start of the month, given others' accounts. Anyway... If people were being very insistent. (Very.) And refusing to take no for an answer, what type of birthday present would you ask for? P.S. Indecisiveness is unhelpful and not the point of the post, please refrain from posting so unless you have some idea.

Those are probably there too.
But I was talking about the really old ads when I was little.

[esperimental]

That influential? I would've been on the impression they shift to new things all the time.

I underestimated the type of roles you get.

[glaciers]

No, I think somebody thought they were funny.
Old commercials are still around if you know what to google for.
I don't know if they still get a lot of hits.

[esperimental]

Oh, that type. My apologies, I never really used Internet much before Retrospec.

Despite keeping an excellent track record at school, of course there will be things I don't know about.

[glaciers]

Why are you apologizing?

It's good to have high grades. Do you know what you want to do?

[esperimental]

For misunderstanding. That doesn't usually happen.

Not really. The best I have is "something most people probably won't do because they find it difficult".

[glaciers]

It's fine. I don't really mind.

That's rocket science. I think.

[esperimental]

I actually do remember someone who was really into space, but she was more into the part of extraterrestrial communication.

After what we've been through I don't even know if I can say I doubt aliens with 100% certainty.

[glaciers]

What else have you been remembering?

I keep seeing superpowers.

[esperimental]

Nothing as out of the ordinary as the others here.

There was someone dangerous who managed to ambush me. My birthyear doesn't align correctly.

I can see ghosts now as well, so there might be more to that I don't remember yet.

[ He recalled his house on fire too, but that feels too heavy to share to just anybody. ]

[glaciers]

That's still worrying.

There are ghosts here?

[Ritsu is at least better than Shouto who'll just drop "I think I saw some people almost get killed" on a complete stranger.]

[esperimental]

It is, but if it allows me to be aware of my surroundings even before any such experience, I think it's overall somewhat helpful a reminder to never fully let my guard down.

As for ghosts... Yes, I first met them in the forest. I didn't believe in them prior, but now I suppose it's reasonable not all people go in peace. The ones I've seen so far aren't even angry, more sad.

[glaciers]

I don't know if I'd consider sad ghosts any better than angry ghosts.

Is there a way to bring them to peace?

[esperimental]

I don't have the answer to that yet, but I'd like to do that too. Life's hard enough without having worries after it.
