3rd Course - Necessary Ingredients [Video]

[Kazumi's expression is worried; not surprising after how the last few weeks have been. She wasn't really affected much, but she saw people who were...]

Is everyone alright now? Back to normal...?

[She sighs, looking a bit forlorn.]

Things making people act unlike themselves... what's "like yourself" though, other than how you acted before? I mean... what makes up a person? Our bodies? Our actions? Our memories?

[Memories...]

...hey, what do memories mean to you? How important are your memories? If you had something painful in your past... do you think it'd be better not to remember it?

[She's taking the video just outside the apartment complex, so anyone is free to run into her there or respond over the vine]

So she's a part of you, then...

[It sounds like a weird case... but Kazumi's case is kind of weird too.]

Oh, you mean with the body-switching a little while ago?

[mother_of_god]

Did it happen to lots of people?

[starofpleiades]

Yeah, it seems like. People switched bodies, and lost memories... and other people could see other memories. I think most people were affected, directly or indirectly.

[mother_of_god]

I was worried I was doing something bad.

I hope you can remember things that're good. I'm glad I got Cheryl's happy memories.

[starofpleiades]

Mm. Not all my memories are happy... but I'm really glad I have the ones that are. They're about my precious friends.

[mother_of_god]

Memories are the only thing you can really keep.

I have a lot of sad and painful memories, but I don't want to get rid of them if it'd mean losing the happy ones.

[starofpleiades]

Mm, same here. Even if I could get rid of just the sad ones... I don't want to forget what we've been through. I don't want my friends to bear that burden alone.
