Of course.

[pseudonyms]

you said something about a commercial and asked me if I've ever done one
what was the commercial like? the one that you were thinking of

[burningblossoms]

Well. There was a girl in a swimsuit.
It was for some sort of drink. Quelorie Magic, or something?

Very Japanese.

[pseudonyms]

I've never heard of a drink like that, but...

even if that girl wasn't me. and I'm not saying she was!

I think maybe you might have been on to something? which makes, like, zero sense

[burningblossoms]

[Oh but Yukiko's pretty sure...]

Yeah? What do you mean, I may have been on to something?

[pseudonyms]

okay. you have to promise not to tell anyone. not even my brother

I think I remember maybe being in commercials before? which still makes no sense, but I kind of remember being on set and stuff

[burningblossoms]

Of course I'll keep it to myself.

And do you? That's cool! I do too, performing with a saxophone and dancing.

[pseudonyms]

it's not cool, it's weird! why would I remember something like that when it doesn't make sense?
I didn't know you could play the sax though o:
what kind of dancing?

[burningblossoms]

Well, your past life may have had a different job.

Yes! I can! I remembered last spring.

I do pop dances, though, but it's kind of mixed with ballet? My own style, I guess.

[pseudonyms]

you think maybe my past life was an actress and that's why I don't like being on stage more than I have to?

that's so cool! you have to show me sometime, both the sax and the dancing! maybe we could practice together. I wouldn't mind with you

[burningblossoms]

I think maybe that might be the case.

Have you remembered more than the commercial?

[pseudonyms]

just one other thing but it doesn't seem like that big of a deal?
just helping a little girl with her art project, kind of
i'm not that good at art

[burningblossoms]

Well I'm sure it was fine.

Remembered anybody other than the girl?

[pseudonyms]

[Why does this feel weird...]

ummm...this boy my age, I think? he had blond hair and a lot of piercings and he was really good at arts and crafts. I don't know why he was at my house though

[Not featured in this memory: senpai, and ergo Rise being totally clueless whose house it was.]

[burningblossoms]

Yeah? Maybe he's a friend.

Did you get his name?

[pseudonyms]

no idea. I don't have hers either but she was pretty adorable. and he seemed to know what he was doing so that's pretty surprising
he didn't seem to mind being there though. and she looked at home, too

is it always this weird? remembering people you don't know

[burningblossoms]

Yes. Yes it is.

But really, it's okay. It gets easier.

[pseudonyms]

how does it get easier when you just keep remembering strangers? what if those people don't even live here?

[burningblossoms]

You learn to accept that they're a part of another life.

[pseudonyms]

and if that's true then you don't really have to talk to them or learn a lot about them, right? they're just people from another life but that life is different than this one

[burningblossoms]

That's right. Until you see them in this life, you don't need to worry about them.

[Or that is what she tells herself about Chie...]

[pseudonyms]

that's a pretty good philosophy and I think I'm going to take it. otherwise I can see people driving themselves crazy trying to understand who these people are
and maybe I like not knowing if other people remember a different me. I'm me, and I don't want to worry about what someone else might think of someone posing as me in memories

[burningblossoms]

Right, exactly.

I can't let myself worry about that stuff, because it's pointless to worry about. Neither should you.

Though it may make for good connections, if you do know people in your memories.

[pseudonyms]

that's a pretty big if. but that means you remember most of the people in yours, right?

...and if you remembered something about me and commercials, does that mean WE knew each other maybe?

[burningblossoms]

I do remember most of the people in my memories.

And since you are in a commercial I remember, that means we are at least from the same world.

In fact, there are some other people I'd like you to meet, and they're from the same place. We'll be having a meeting soon, if you want to come?
