[Ruri woke up, she was of two minds and neither of them meshed.  It'd be easier if that other voice wasn't screaming things in her head like 'memory default' or 'faulty backup data, please express caution' then other loud thoughts about cheerleader tryouts for next year didn't scream in her head in retaliation.]

"I....  So many memories...."

"I....  I am having odd thoughts...  Bad thoughts...  Ones that would make baby Jesus cry.  Does anyone want to help me forget about them?  I turn 16 on Thursday so maybe we could plan a party, or you could help me train for the chee....  No.  Those are stupid.  Such a headache.  Omoikane is trying to run a system scan on me but it keeps coming up in fault.  Does anyone else have things like this going on?"

"I know I prefer doing this but gosh, I need to practice if I want to make the team.  No.  Wait.  Still not right."

It...seems like it, but I could be imagining it.

"I know. I wish there was better reference materials to confirm with in town."

Maybe if we keep looking we'll find...people who share our memories--or no one, and we'll know. We'll...have made it all up or not have.

"I.... I hope so. Maybe with time. I just.. I'm not sure."

...Yeah...I know. But--but no matter what's true we've got t'find an nswer, or we'll just go crazy.

"I.... I've seen crazy people. I grew up with them. But I don't think this is what happened to them."

You...grew up with them here or...?
