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.

That too. But I have trouble hearing, so phone calls are usually no good for me...

I'm Kouhei. Don't worry, I feel the same way. A proper introduction is nice. And it's nice to meet you too.

Oh, you're hard-of-hearing?

Hehe, I'm glad. I do hope you get to meet this person one day. I mean, if you do want to meet them.

Yeah, that's exactly the term. I'm not completely deaf, but it's still easier to text, since I can't read lips over the phone.

If I could... I think I'd want to meet them. Do you have anyone you feel that way about?

Right, of course. That makes sense. [...] What about music though? Do you...still listen to that?

[He's a musician okay, that's where his priorities lie]

Yeah. There's a group of students. I don't know any of their names, but...I think we were friends in that other life, so I'd really like to meet them.

I don't listen to much music, but I like it. I can connect my hearing aids with my phone, so I can listen to music through them that way.

So you have multiple people. That sounds nice. I hope you run into them sometime.

[Okay crisis averted. It'd be awkward if this guy hated music] Whoa, I didn't know you could do that with hearing aids. Technology is amazing... What kind of music do you like?

Thanks. It'd probably be a little awkward, especially if they don't remember me yet.

It really is. I'm lucky I'm living in this era.

But I'm not a very picky person. As long as there isn't a lot of screaming, I'll probably be okay with it. I used to listen to the things my classmates listened to, but after I lost my hearing, I stopped listening to music for a long time.

Classical music is nice, though. Do you like music?

Aha, yeah. The screaming stuff can be...a little overwhelming, I imagine. Classical's great though!

And I do! I play violin, actually.

It sounds like a jumbled mess. There's too much noise.

That makes sense. No wonder you asked me about music. Violins are soothing to listen to.

Actually, someone I know here plays the harp. I bet you'd get along.

Haha, guilty as charge. Music's basically my thing.

Really? Whose that?

It's nice that you have something like that, though. Something you care deeply about.

Have you met Light? He's a university student like me.

Thanks. I hope you have something like that too!

Oh! Yeah! I know him! We're supposed to play together sometime.

I should have guessed. The violin and harp aren't a typical combination, but I bet you'll sound nice together.

Hehe, yeah! I bet we'll come up with some really interesting pieces with that combination!

I hope you get along well.

But thanks for helping me out. Talk to you later.

We do!

Aw, it's nothing! I'll talk to you later too!
