There’s a generic spread of food on a table off to one side of the room: donuts, muffins, bagels, and cookies; coffee, lemonade, water, and because one of the Different asked for it, hot chocolate. Maybe you’re hungry enough to try it—it’s free after all.

Or maybe you can’t stomach anything, given the event you’re attending.

The space is a local rec center. The beige-painted cinder block walls and the fluorescent lighting are a terrible combination. Maybe they are reminiscent of the public school you attended in your youth?

Why are you here? Curiosity? Maybe the Bureau official will say something that will help you make sense of things? The meeting was interesting—who knew there were so many people like you, receiving memories of a past life? The group was led by someone from The Bureau—the Department of Medical Services. Some people are staying in their chairs and chatting—they must know each other from previous meetings. Some of them are gravitating towards the food.

How do you feel about tonight? Has it helped you come to terms with the dream of memories you’re having? Maybe it’s time to talk to others, get an understanding of their experience.

"Same with mine. Like I lived it," which, if the memory was real, then he had. "It was weird."

Roxas would tell as much as he could, though the details were still confusing to him. He shook her hand with a nod. "I'm Roxas. Nice to meet you."

Bitterblue bit her lip and decided to go for it. "Pardon me if this is too forward, but can I ask you what your memory was about?"

[missingache]

Roxas blinked and shrugged. "Nothing fancy. It was in a weird city with buildings that were floating and upside down. I was talking to a boy... And I told him that it had to be him. And that's about it."

[ashenscipher]

"Floating? Upside down?" Bitterblue asked with surprise.

"How is that a memory? That sounds like a dream."

[missingache]

"Because I'm a Different, just like everyone here. So it has to be a memory or I wouldn't be here."

Roxas frowned for a moment. "And the guy in my memory doesn't exist here."

[ashenscipher]

"Hmm, but that's just circular logic," Bitterblue said. "They told us they were memories, but what if they are lying?"

[missingache]

"They could be easily lying. But why would they? Why would they lie to a group of people? Unless it's for something like a TV show, which would be very messed up..." Now Roxas became concerned for cameras. Looking at the corners and the ceiling for possible clues if they were there.
