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.

That cracked a grin out of Jecht. "Heh, I know what that's like!"

He was still resisting a little, after all. Even all this time after it had happened.

"Don't worry too much about the Bureau guys. They're just..." Shrug! You know. "Us other people, we're who you wanna talk to."

"Yeah, talking to people one on one has been a lot more helpful." She smiled a little and gave a small shrug of her own. "I needed to get out more anyway."

"Ugh, hope you have something where dealing with this ain't too rough." Jecht had been doing all sorts of things to compensate -- man, was he glad the offseason was finally here!

She shrugged again. "Just work. Which is fine, I like the work. I'm good at it." She tipped her head and pushed her hair back. "How do you deal with it?

"Ignore the hell out of it as much as I can. And a lot of lies." Which he didn't feel bad about, because hell if he was gonna let this whole mess ruin his comeback and his career.

She laughed and it was probably the first time she really meant it since her first memory bled through.

"I mean, whatever works!"

"Gets me by and hasn't screwed up everything so far!" Helped that he didn't actually have any scandals or stupidity on the record. Easy to slip by when other guys were out waving guns at bars or whatever the hell.

"Well, I mean. It's not like we can just ... go public about it, do interviews or whatever. Who would even believe it? We'd get written off as delusional, having a breakdown. We have to lie."

Jecht chuckled, cynically. "Heh, more than that. Guy like me can't be going to some support group, that's PR death. I gotta lie and say I'm out on dates and stuff."
