[reaquila]

Ew. Don't even say it like that.

Smoking is nasty.

That's how you always sounded before?

[hauntedsavior]

I agree. Smoking is very nasty. That's why I don't do it.

If that's the way I sounded before, perhaps the audio has deteriorated. Perhaps something has changed about it.

[reaquila]

Somehow I doubt the audio quality is the problem here.


Try swearing a little. You might sound like that.

[hauntedsavior]

Never.

I suppose the question, at this point, is what we should do next. If you are so convinced that this is the way I used to sound, it's clear to me that something has changed, whether in your perception or my own. How do we resolve it?

[reaquila]

You won't even say something like "Damn you!?"

Geez, Anna. I wish I knew how to resolve this.

[hauntedsavior]

Perhaps it is something that, as everything else has, will resolve itself with time. Doubtlessly, the city is having some fun with memories this month. We will likely not be able to do anything to fix it ourselves.

Stop asking me to swear.

[reaquila]

I guess I don't know you as well as I thought.

So what do you like doing?

[hauntedsavior]

Working towards my doctorate.

When that is complete, I will attend to the city.

[reaquila]

You mean you aren't gonna work at the club?


That job felt more like "you" before. How much longer do you have until you finish?

[hauntedsavior]

The more time I spend with questions like these, the longer it takes to finish.

The club?

[reaquila]

You know, club sunshine?

I'm actually too young to go in there so I've never seen the place.

[hauntedsavior]

The... host club? Gott in Himmel, I cannot begin to imagine what would have to go wrong in my life for me to even consider working there.

[reaquila]

Seems like you had some trouble before?

I never asked for details because it was too personal.

[hauntedsavior]

Hm. I've had very few troubles in my life, to be honest. Perhaps this "other me" you remember cannot say the same. If she is so much my diametric opposite, perhaps you should have asked her.

Maybe I have a twin roaming around the city.

[reaquila]

Yeah maybe. Do you think there'a clone of you out there who swears and drinks alcohol?

Because unless there is I don't know how to explain any of this.

You're completely different.

[hauntedsavior]

And yet I feel completely unchanged.

Hm. Who else would know this... other Annalise?

[reaquila]

That's a good question. I don't know too much about the places you used to frequent before.

Maybe the bar? You can try checking there. That seems like a place the other "you" would hang out.

[hauntedsavior]

Well, she certainly spent very little time at the university, I would have to imagine.

I would drop jaws in a bar. The sight of someone like me entering a place like that is almost funny.

[reaquila]

You can always go with a friend if you don't wanna go alone.

Check it out sometime. You might learn something about this other Anna.

[hauntedsavior]

I have learned a fair amount about her from your description.

I do not necessarily like what I have learned.

[reaquila]

Do you have any sisters?

Maybe your sister's the one running around being a weirdo.

[hauntedsavior]

I do, though we have regrettably not spoken in several years. She was always more... rebellious.

But we do not look similar. I doubt the answer is that simple.

[reaquila]

Wait, fuck really?

I never knew you had a sister. You aren't like twins or anything so yeah.

It's not gonna be that simple.

[hauntedsavior]

I believe my family would prefer I speak of her as little as possible. I do not entirely agree with their viewpoint that she somehow affects the prestige of the entire Lehmann name, but she is certainly... not like her parents.

I would know if she were here, we shall say.

[reaquila]

All this time I thought you were an only child.

Do you do anything for fun?
