[motiv8]

Heh. I thought so, anyway.

Mm? Understand what, exactly? Sorry, I'm not really following.

[dereban]

You're differentiating yourself from your past self. That means you understand that you're not your past self, right?

[motiv8]

[Of course he understands. His past self was so many things he can only dream of being... accomplished, a leader. Happy.]

Yeah. I know some people refer to their past selves like they're completely separate people, but... seems kind of hard to do that when you share everything.

Still, what's past is past and what's here is here. I know that.

[dereban]

[ There's a bit of a pause for a moment, and for what seems to be a bit of a more obvious reason when she messages him. ]

Speaking of that, though... I remembered something. Just now.

[motiv8]

You did? What?

[dereban]

The thing I remembered just now was a conversation with a boy? I don't know his name or anything, but we were wearing school uniforms.

I was worried about him.

Something about... something called Heartseed liberating his weird desires and that he might actually die because of them?

[motiv8]

Heartseed, huh...? Can't say it's a term I've heard of before.

[Still. Not exactly hard to figure out what triggered THAT.]

...Guess I should probably say I'm sorry for making your past life's worries follow you here, though.

[dereban]

It's the name of a kind of plant. And don't apologize, it's fine. I should also mention that I did find out a few things about my past life recently that wasn't related to that memory.

[motiv8]

A plant unleashing some kind of weird desires is more than a little weird... but then again, I can't exactly judge considering what I've got in my memories.

Like what?

[dereban]

I mean it might not actually be a plant? Like it might just be some sort of alias or a code name?

Well, the name I remember in another memory that I had a different name... oh, and apparently I was Japanese in my past life.

[motiv8]

I guess we'll find out.

Well, that confirms the two of us weren't from the same worlds originally, then. The country I was from isn't even a country that exists on Earth.

What was the other you's name? Out of curiosity.

[dereban]

Guess so. Yeah. It's kind of disappointing, I guess. I'm curious as to where in Japan, but that's something I'll have to find out later. Well, I don't remember my full name, but the others seemed to call me 'Inaba'.

[motiv8]

Yeah, it is, a bit. But at the same time, it's kind of exciting, isn't it? There'll be a lot to talk about.

Inaba? Heh. It's cute!

[dereban]

Oh.

I can tell you right now one other important thing, then. I was a guy in my past life.

[ RAINA WHY ARE YOU LEAVING OUT IMPORTANT DETAILS ]

[motiv8]

WHAT

1 / 2

[dereban]

I'm not joking.

[dereban]

Okay, fine, I was only half joking.

I wasn't a guy in my past life but I was in a guy's body in a memory, apparently.

[motiv8]

Don't scare me like that...

Wait, though. Like some kind of bodyswapping thing?

[He thought that only happened in their Japanese animes. Well... her past self was Japanese, so it's halfway there, at least?]

[dereban]

Yeah. So I guess I know what it's like to be a guy, now. Don't tell anyone.

[motiv8]

Your secret's safe with me.

...I can't lie, though, I'm kind of curious. Since I've just always been this way, it's hard to imagine being in a different body at all, much less someone with a different makeup altogether.

[dereban]

Uncomfortable. For Inaba, it was like being out of your own skin. Even stranger when you can see yourself while in another body.

Not an experience I'd like to repeat.

[motiv8]

Well. I can officially say that sates my curiosity to ever find out what it's like for myself.

If it was that awkward, though, I'm sorry it happened to you. ...Her?

[dereban]

I'm officially worried now, Rean.

And it's nothing to apologize about. Really.

[motiv8]

What? You can't possibly say that prior to this you'd never wondered even once what it'd be like to be the opposite sex!

[dereban]

No? Because I'm not weird?
