...I know this town torments people for fun. I know that, but it sounds like you and I are in the same boat--like we're trying to convince ourselves we've always been here and that everything's normal.
Hell, I'm even starting to get confused on just what the hell my own name is, and I'm looking at journals in my own handwriting...but it's a language I can't remember.
If the telephone lines are any indication it sounds as if most of us are. What's real and isn't, honestly the whole thing feels like a blur right now. Struggling to see one just makes the other harder to forget. [Biting down on her lip.] Perhaps it's possible we've lived both lives and became one being over time. Although that is a bit odd...
Have you tried a form of hypnotic state? If it's our memories being tampered with it is possible to see which are more subliminal, but there would have to be someone capable of doing such here.
...no, I don't think it's likely we lived through both. One has to be right and the other's a lie, I'm sure of that much. What I don't know is which one I'm supposed to focus on and which I should stop thinking about.
Hypnosis? [Maybe there was some form of magecraft that could work out which memories were real, but...] It's possible, but the only person I can think of that might be able to do something is even worse off than we are right now.
[Rin would surely have been able to think of something. Lancer had no idea what a magus of her modern era could do for things like this--what? No, magic wasn't real. What was he thinking?
...wait, if magic wasn't real then why had he even thought of Rin in the first place?]
Well-- When you think about it which one feels most acceptable. I'm inclined to believe what's written more, if only for the fact it'd be impossible otherwise. There's proof right in front of me but it also feels wrong.
[Hermione frowned. Something pricked in the back of her mind that maybe she could do something, had done it before, but she wasn't sure. Nevermind the fact it was too advanced for the magic she had now.] No luck, then. Although I'm not sure who's more lucky: those of us who some or those who remember nothing at all.
You know when something's too crazy not to be real? I'm starting to think this is something like that. I mean, the memories I have...they're not normal. Even someone out of their mind couldn't have made things like this up.
...hard to say. I feel like I don't want to completely forget whichever's real, but as it is my head is killing me.
Of course I do, it sounds to be the same way for everyone right now. You'd think if they really wanted to confuse us they'd separate us from those things that tell us otherwise. Still, there's too much there to make it hard to believe.
[Frowning.] Sounds about right, honestly. I wish I could help, but as it were I don't have all my things to even attempt...
