I recently remembered about something about an ability called hypno that an esper can have. I'm not sure what other abilities there are but this one allows a person to control people's perceptions. Sort of like making illusions I guess?

I wonder if that's like what Retrospec is doing? Or are all the changes real?

Also, I'm trying to complete my bingo card and I need to find someone with a sibling to hang out with. I promise I'm not anyone suspicious or a stalker or anything like that, so if you have a sibling could you please give me their number? Sorry for taking up your time like this.

[This is so embarrassing...but she really wants to know more about that memory she had regained so there's no helping it. At least she can do it over text...

She sits there for a long time wondering if she should just delete the last part but in the end her cat makes the decision for her by walking over her keyboard.]

[Well, at least the rest of it will make sense.]

It'd explain that, but it wouldn't directly explain why everyone else thinks that blue and green never existed. You'd have to do some memory-altering stuff for that, if it's just a perception change.

if it could also alter memories wouldn't it be sort of overpowered as an ability? it seems like the sort of power that'd be banned at official tournaments.

Definitely. I'd say if it was in a story, you'd have to put limits on it or you'd have a boring overpowered protagonist, but Retrospec doesn't strike me as a protagonist of anything.

a character like that would definitely be boring! Especially if they had other powers beside that one. then if the author also gave them a tragic backstory then you'd have exactly the sort of overpowered character that nobody likes!

but you're right...that doesn't really sound like retrospec.

They could be the antagonist. A villain being overpowered just makes it even more satisfying when the hero finally beats them.

that's true! Then people could look forward to that moment!

I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty satisfied if I got to punch Jim in the face.

I'm not sure I'd go that far...someone should tell him that if he keeps this up he's going to end up like those sad old men who have to go to hostess clubs to find company.

No one has ever died from a punch to the face, it'll be fine.

I'm pretty sure you can still be sued for that. Please don't get arrested. He's not worth it!

What if I just step on his foot or something?

that's probably okay...I think.

it really is frustrating that there's not much we can do.

I haven't been able to find him online or anything.

not at all? Doesn't he have any social media accounts? Maybe an Instagram?

None that I've found. He might be on a Christian singles site or something, but I can't find him on anything actually big.

that's odd. I thought everyone was on social media these days.

unless he's using a weird handle on forums?

That's possible. He could be something like xxxDragonMaster67xxx and there's no way I'd know.
