002. text // i say it is, then it's true

This is another of those questions in which I'm not explicitly asking for details, if you don't care to share them; I've simply found that shouting into a void is useful, if not a productive use of my time. But now that the matter of our souls has been brought into question, I suppose this feels more relevant than it would normally.

As time goes on and you have more and more memories forcibly shoved into your head, do you find yourself having difficulty keeping your thoughts and reactions separate from those of the person whose memories you're recalling? Or to put it a different way, do you ever feel the lines blurring – do you understand things that you previously thought you never would, or do you find yourself relating to things that you suspect you shouldn't?

And if so, has that sort of shift in perception changed what you believe you deserve?

Wesker - disregard the Retrospec name setting. It's a pleasure.

is prompto friending another villain???

[mercurio]

?? did you get through the name changing feature

[manufactured]

Quite the opposite, really - the name listed is my birth name. I've been "Albert Wesker" for years, and that's what I answer to.

[mercurio]

oh! name changes! that's cool
i mean not cool that retrospec digs up something you wanted to change
you get it right

[manufactured]

I do, yes. It's mostly fine, at any rate - it's more of an annoyance than anything.

[mercurio]

no biggie then i'll call you wesker
