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.

Padme was visibly displeased with the non-answers she'd been given. She worked with diplomats on a regular basis, so she knew when she was being tactfully blown off. There was something more here, she just needed to find out what.

She was pouring herself a cup of unfortunate-looking coffee when the other woman approached. That smile was easily returned as she accepted the handshake. "So I'm discovering. Padme Naberrie. It's a pleasure to meet you, as well. Have you come to many of these?"

"Twice a week for the last month, when all this started for me." Harleen poured a cup of coffee for herself just for something to do with her hands. "It hasn't helped at all, which I'm sure is no surprise."

"That many?" Padme didn't even try to hide the surprise in her eyes. "If I may ask... If they don't help, why do you continue to come?"

"Partly because there's nothing else to do about it. Partly because sometimes I meet someone here who is actually helpful outside of the meetings." Harleen unthinkingly took a sip of the coffee and immediately regretted it. She grimaced as she forced herself to swallow.
