[Togusa cringes on his end of the line. What a way to go. Another piece of evidence for his time frame, then.]

I'm sorry.

But, you remember? That drawing you did, once, with the words in the sky? Didn't it have tall buildings in it?

[This has been going on for a bit, hasn't it?]

From:

wordcarvings

[ It has, yes. ]

At least I was old.

Yeah, I remember. But according to Tsushima-kun, who seems to be from the same world or whatever as me, says that that was inside a book. And then I remembered sort of, going inside a book too, to look for a person "like us", whatever that means.

The infirmary that I remember had modern tools in it, though. Things that definitely didn't exist back then.

From:

standalonehuman

Tsushima. He was the other one who mentioned a weapon that turned into a book. I didn't want to jump to conclusions, but, you two have worked it out?

...Infirmary?

From:

wordcarvings

That's him, yes. He remembered using his before actually getting it, at least. Yeah, we have, I saw him in one, together with another person that he had remembered.

Yes, it was a pretty nice one, and not as old-fashioned as the ones from last century.

From:

standalonehuman

I don't even know what to call it, not only do you come from the same place, but you remember each other? Of all the people to come from a world...

How many times do you have memories from, then? This other Koutarou seems to have lived a long time.

From:

wordcarvings

It is a bit peculiar, but there are a lot of strange things about it. For example, there is a Nakahara Chuuya there, but one that doesn't look nor sound like my Chuuya at all.

Right now I don't know. It seems like the memories are all over the place.

From:

standalonehuman

Your cousin!?

Hunh. I mean, I have so many other questions, but. But, you don't think he's still your cousin in that world?

From:

wordcarvings

Yes. But no matter how I look at it, it wasn’t really him.

I have no idea, we didn’t seem as familiar, but also not entirely unfamiliar with each other.

From:

standalonehuman

Has Chuuya, I guess, the Chuuya here, remembered you in what Retrospec has been showing him?

From:

wordcarvings

He hasn't, no. Not as far as he's said at least, and I think he would if he did.

From:

standalonehuman

Right. But, you think that you were around in an infirmary with technology that was clearly past 1956, as well?

And why would there be two Chuuyas? Has he talked to you about what he has remembered?

From:

wordcarvings

Exactly. It doesn't really make sense, does it? But that's how it was.

He has not, no. Not really. He remembered a doctor called Mori as well, though. A Mori different from the one I remembered. But I don't know if Mori and Mori have the same first name. Still, it doesn't make much sense, though maybe it just is coincidences.

From:

standalonehuman

Why would you and Chuuya be remembering things that are eerily similar, but also not the same? This is. Odd.

Keep writing it all down, keep a record of it, it's what I've started doing. Even if it makes no sense, maybe something'll come through at some point.

From:

wordcarvings

I have no idea, I want to know that though.

Like every newly remembered memory, every details of retrospec changes?

From:

standalonehuman

Yeah. If you write things down, but dont refer to the company by name. But, the things I remember, the things I know they’re responsible for, that much I’m trying to write down.

Any dreams I’m having.

From:

wordcarvings

[ Hm? ]

Would that make a difference? Writing the name or not.

Do you have a lot of them?

From:

standalonehuman

Honestly? Don't know. But it's the next thing that we're trying to see if our case notes stay intact, or if they keep magically changing as soon as we stop looking at them.

I've been having a few dreams. I might understand it, how the other Togusa's power worked. You know how I said the talking to people with my mind was familiar? He could do it, but not like Retrospec got me to?

From:

wordcarvings

[ It takes a few minutes longer than usual for a reply to come. ]

I don’t really get it, but alright.

Really? How was it different? Do you have any idea?

From:

standalonehuman

I know this is hard to understand, but he could do it because he had a series of really tiny machines in his head. Like something from a science fiction story, have you ever heard of nanomachines? They were real for him.

So he could talk to other people who had the same augmentation.

From:

wordcarvings

Oh.

I haven't. That sounds really surreal and scary. I definitely wouldn't want any machines of any size in my head.

From:

standalonehuman

I'm going to get the doctors to check if it's already happened to me. I don't think I'm afraid of it. But I don't know how I'll react if it turns out to be true.

From:

wordcarvings

I guess that you’re braver than me then. Would the doctors be able to see it?

From:

standalonehuman

I would really hope they would be able to find tiny machines running around in my brain.

Also that’s not true, I know better now how brave you are Mr. Judo-Throws-A-Giant-Crab.
