Do any of you keep having memories of someone who's never been in your life?

I keep seeing visions of someone that I can tell is really important to my memory/past/alternate universe self, but I don't know anything about them. I've never had anyone like that. But even though I've never met them, every weird memory I've gotten seems to be about this person, so I think they must be really important.

Am I supposed to feel like something's missing? I figured this is a pretty common thing, so...

Thanks. Sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Listen, I'm trying, okay? I'm not the most social guy, so this is really tough for me! It took me three days just to work up the courage to ask this publicly!

But I'm glad I did.

...You didn't think I wouldn't offer something like that, did you? Lending an ear, I mean.

yeah! i know! i'm saying i'm honored and proud of you! thanks for opening up.

no, not that. "same goes for me" also means you want me to invite you to my place? i thought you got nervous at the thought. unless you didn't mean that at all.

then forget what i said.

entirely.

[ He's low key embarrassed. ]

Seriously, you don't need to go that far. It's nothing to thank me over.

I wasn't trying to invite myself though, I swear. I just meant if you ever needed someone...

It would make me kind of nervous, honestly, because I wouldn't want to bother your roommates.

But if you invited me, I'd definitely go...

it's too late. i can't delete my comments now.

i'd definitely invite you... then you can meet my cat.

[ WHO CARES ABOUT HIS ROOMMATES?? Also, he's the one feeling nervous about inviting someone now that IT'S THE FOCUS. ]

You don't have to, really! Now I'm making it sound like I'm trying to passive-aggressively make you, but I don't mean it like that. Really.

But I do want to meet your cat. And the ones at the cat cafe....

don't worry, you're invited. let's hope that November is a nice month to us all, then you can meet both.

so what's the person in your memories like?

I won't refuse an invitation... I'll be crossing my fingers.

Uh, well... They're kind. And loud. And always smiling and laughing. And I think they like to eat.

cross both fingers!

they sound like a handful, but they also sound nice to have around.

I guess so. They're the total opposite of me.

I usually don't do well with loud people, but... all of the memories were nice. I was happy.

opposites attract in this case.

but you're making it sound like you're not as happy here.

Putting it like that is kind of embarrassing...

Remember what I told you when you were over? I had kind of a hard time for a while. Things were rough.

But I'm happy now. I can finally say that. I'm just glad that the me in my memories is happy too.

sorry, sorry. i didn't mean to embarrass you.

i remember, so i'm happy that you're happy. how should we celebrate?

Thanks, Akira. I hope you're happy too.

Baking another cake sounds good.

...I'm kidding. Mostly. Do you want to do something?

i'm happier now than i have ever been, actually. it's weird.

i wouldn't mind a cake, but i think checking out some recreational stuff would be cool. i heard there's a place that you can pay to destroy china?

I'm glad to hear it. Seriously. That makes two of us. If we're lucky, things will only go up from here. (I'm hoping, anyway. I'm trying to be positive for once.)

Recreational stuff sounds good, but destroying china? There's seriously a place just for that?!

I've never done anything even close to that, but if you're into destroying things...

stay pawsitive! meow.

think of it as letting off steam, Kouhei. don't knock it till you try it. though, in this case, till you smash it.

I don't know if I can trust someone who makes cat puns.

...Kidding. I'll go with you, but I'd rather watch, at least at first.

i can make other puns if needed.

all right. sounds like a plan. you'll be smashing dishes with me in no time.

I'll take your word for it. I'm not forgiving you if you make me a violent person.

Just kidding.

[Listen, he has to clarify each time.... just in case.]

i can't imagine you as a violent person.

even if you were kidding.

You don't think I'd be able to fight in self-defense?

Because you're right. Kick me if I start feeling guilty about breaking plates.

self-defense doesn't equate to being a violent person.

think of it this way. you paid for those plates, so you have every right to break them if you want.

I know, just

You know what I mean!

Still, they're perfectly good plates, you know? I'll be fine once we get there, but for now, let me worry!

you're fun to tease, Kouhei.

okay, but don't worry your hair till it's white.

Sorry...

I'm still not used to this kind of thing, so...
