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.

He waved Wei off as he put his own wallet away.

"Don't worry about it. This is my treat. I've enjoyed talking to you and hey, maybe it will help brighten your day week just a little bit."

He smiled brightly as he shoved his money back in his pocket. "Thanks. It definitely makes up for the nightmare. I didn't expect a new friend out of the ordeal." He loved meeting new people and he's enjoyed being with Anthony so it all has worked out. He's glad he decided to come to the group.

Anthony smirked too, matching that smile. After all making new friends was something he was up for too, even more so if they were going through the same sorts of things. No one who hadn't had one of those memories could possibly understand how jarring the experience was.

"It is nice that something good has come out of all this mess. One last toast?"

He picked up his glass just once more... He had thought that two or three times now but this time he meant it.

"To new friends."

"To new friends!" He picked up his as well and held it up, clicking it gently against the other man's glass.

He hoped he would get to spend time with Anthony again soon and perhaps discuss more upbeat topics then the Bureau. He lifted the glass to his lips and finished it off.
