admittedly, it's a LITTLE annoying having all these fake memories bouncing around in my head, but i can tell what's real and what isn't. i'm me again, that's what's important.
[ too kind, too compassionate, too grossly empathetic. it leaves a sour taste in his mouth. nooo thanks. ]
but i gotta say, i don't regret meeting you or booker if it wasn't for the aerie, i would probably still be scrambling to figure out how to navigate this world alone
not really sure how many people are gonna come out of this preferring their other selves
i didn't have much time between getting here and then getting yanked into the aerie either. i know booker from home, so it's a little surprising they kept that in place since the goal seemed to be make everyone as uncomfortable as possible
or maybe it was a shitty overly complicated ice breaker

two sets of memories is new for me too, but i'll leave that quarry shit and the fuzziness in reality behind
no subject
idk how much choice we have in that
i'm pretty sure i won't be able to escape mine
no subject
but it's just like you said. i know who i am, and that has more bearing on me now that a second set of memories. it doesn't get to change me.
