Is there anyone else who think that they might be recalling two previous lives, rather than just one?

You were thinking that too?

For a while now, yes. You too then?

I've been tentatively separating the ones where the sky has letters and the ones where it doesn't.

Yes.. Those seem to be completely different. Sometimes the style of the buildings isn’t entirely different but the sky does make it very different.

Buildings are one thing - maybe you traveled to different countries - but normally the sky should be the same everywhere. Or close to the same.

I believe that I did, although I don’t much remember the travels themselves. But I do remember getting permission to go overseas to study. And looking down into the crater of Vesuvius.

But it felt different from simply going overseas.

Besides that place with the letters in the sky, I mostly remember Japan. If I left the country, I don't remember it.

If you did, maybe you’ll remember it eventually?

But it’s more or less the same for me.

It'd be great if we got our memories back in order.

How does that work? Like you're getting details that contradict each other or from two completely different time periods or something?

Most of all the latter, but a little of the first, too.

Well if the details seem to contradict each other, maybe you just don't have enough context to tell how they interact... it seems way less likely that people would get multiple previous lives instead of just one confusing one. Maybe you were immortal or really really old?

[ ......there is a long delay in the reply. Not that he’s a fast typer, but longer than the previous ones. ]

No. I don’t think so.

I mean, how can you tell?

[There's probably a few ways to tell.]

Younger appearance in a setting very far in the future.

[ Among other things. ]

How do you mean?

Like memories that doesn’t match up.

Well, yes, but not matching up how? That is, of course, if you're willing to give details. I don't mean to pry.

Well. Being conscious about my marriage, despite being younger than when I got married... For example?

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, if you'll allow me to be honest.

Yeah I don’t really know how to explain it well, completely?

I mean, it's fine, you don't really have to explain it. Really, considering everything else, this doesn't seem that out there.
