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 would change things, yeah.

But if you met them here in Recolle, how would you know they're not just a normal person?

Yeah
Whatever world they 'saved' this soul from is better off gone.

I don't know.
Who's to say what would happen if I remembered them
Or they remembered me.

You say that, but wouldn't that mean something would happen to you? I don't really get this.

...That's true. I'm probably too naive, since I haven't seen what you have.

I imagine we're all stuck with our biases.
So probably.
It's...

Complicated I guess.

It sounds like it. Sorry to make you think so much about it.

I hope you get nicer memories soon.

You and me both.

What did you see that is so different from here?

Me? Nothing I've seen is too different, yet... and it's nothing compared to what you were talking about.

But I don't have many close relationships with people, so seeing someone that clearly mattered a lot to me, a friend, was. Different, I guess. Just a little.

I can understand that. I feel you on not having a lot of close friends.
Maybe you'll find them here someday.

I've made friends for the first time in a while through Retrospec, somehow. So I'm thankful for that.

Good!
Yeah this isn't all bad, really.
I've met a lot of people too.
I wish the circumstances were different but, hey
Beggars, choosers, etc etc

[Oh.... He somehow wasn't expecting to hear something so cheerful from this girl.]

Yeah. There are ups and downs, and all we can do is take them in stride.

Thanks for sharing all of this with me.

[She's only a pessimist about her OWN life.]

Yeah.
Or you know, get mad at them,
I do that far too often, I think.

Sure.
None of it's a secret at this point, really.

I'm not a very angry person, so I just wind up questioning all of this way too much instead.

Still, not everyone has an easy time opening up. Thanks.

I used to do that too.
I mean I still do.
Rather constantly but

Mm.

I suppose it doesn't matter.
Your name is Kouhei right?
I'm Eleanor.

I think we all do. I'd be worried if anyone didn't.

Yeah. Kouhei Sugihara, like it says. Nice to meet you, Eleanor.
