The man in this clinic told me my name is Rosalind and this journal will talk to people. But that makes no scientific sense. They're paper, that's all

Rosalind!

Where are you?

Oh, I should start from the beginning. I'm Kagerou. And you're Rosalind. We live together, you and I and my brother Axel. And I'm coming to meet you now if you can just tell me where you are.

[seeya_next_life]

[Penspot for a looooong moment, then,]

Wait for me.

[blindedmewith]

Are you writing to me or her?!

[seeya_next_life]

Oh, to Kagerou. I meant I'd go with her to come pick you up.

[blindedmewith]

Mr. Gai's coming here and we're going to meet that girl halfway! Are you Axel?

[seeya_next_life]

That I am. Commit it to memory. ... Again, I guess.

[blindedmewith]

I don't have to, you wrote it down right here!

[seeya_next_life]

[Pause. Facepalm.] Fine, then memorize the handwriting. Yeesh, you're so literal.

[blindedmewith]

It's important to be accurate!

[weaver_girl]

I will, but don't take too long! I'm in the Bazaar right now, though the tea is going to have to wait.

[seeya_next_life]

Right, then, I'm on my way. Be there in eight seconds--you can time me.

[poof.]

[weaver_girl]

Oh, I will, I'm counting right- [A small streak of ink goes here.]

All right, you win. This time.

[And the rest of this will happen in person.]

[blindedmewith]

I have roommates?

I'm in the doctor's office. The clinic? With Mr. Simon.

[seeya_next_life]

[Pause.] You really don't remember? This isn't just some experiment of yours or something, is it?

[blindedmewith]

[ping! the writing gets really rushed and pressed hard into the paper]

Am I a scientist?

[seeya_next_life]

[Oh, wow, looks like that had an effect.]

And here I figured that was something you'd never forget. Science is like your one true love, apparently. You named our cat Bunsen, for crying out loud.
