I WAS NEVER HERE.I WOULD REMEMBER SUCH A PLACE, DUMBASS.
[a sullen glare. she hates it here already]
I woke up to man supposedly married to me, who looked nothing like my brother. Television is playing propaganda about USSR, and little fake children keep calling me mother.
[She must be worried! This place is pretty confusing, after all.]
Yes, this place does that. You were here before, but sometimes when it sends people back home it erases their memories when they come back. Mayfield tries to act like we've all lived here the whole time, but of course that's not the case.
A lot of us show up here, though sometimes they leave. I've been here since January. You've been here once while I was here and at least once before that.
[covering her mouth now and talking past it] I do not like this place. Stealing language, and belongings and memory how are you remembering longer than me? [accusing look]
Miss Belarus?
[Oh, she's back!]

Are you alright? Do you remember being here before, or did you forget?

A-and if you're not focusing when you write, you'll write in English here, just like we're speaking it...

Ah--it takes your regular body as well. You're just a human right now, Miss Belarus, so you should be especially careful.

I will never be just a human, I will always be Belarus, understand?
[pulling back and stalking off, that's enough talking to Lithuania for one...year]

N-no, I didn't mean that, of course you're Baltarusija... It's just the body you're in that changed. They do it to everyone at first.
