[ yeah, date's a member of the milf-lovers club, he's not pretending otherwise. ]
... I guess she must've done. She talked like she knew me, at least. Y'know when there's... kind of a dynamic there and you just fall into it? It felt like that.
[ it's a very nothing story coming after three houses but it's fun! there are stupid dessert weapons and it brings me a lot of joy beating enemies to death with a giant lollipop ]
I have a pretty good idea, yes.
[ case in point, this conversation. ]
She never actually said so, though?
[ he sips his frap. hm. ]
That seems odd. I would have assumed she'd have filled you in on some of the things you were missing if that was the case.
I mean... it was pretty clear she knew me. I figure there some medical benefit to letting people remember things naturally, rather than trying to force them to remember stuff. Maybe that's what she was doing?
[ a mystery. ]
She might not have wanted to. For the same reasons I just mentioned.
[ as someone with centuries of experience in withholding important information from people, he may be a little more inclined to suspect others of doing the same... but that memory he'd seen before had already proven that they were keeping some rather big secrets, so he doesn't think his suspicions here are unjustified. ]
Hasn't it been six years? Seems like if anything was going to jog your memory it would have happened by now.
And you don't find that strange? That she apparently thought it best to treat the old you as if you were dead?
[ looking at him curiously with a slight head tilt. ]
This sounds less like trying to let you remember on your own and more like actively concealing something. [ ... ] As you know, I do have some experience in that area.
Like I keep saying, it's not like I have anything to compare it to. Even if I did find it strange, I don't know the first thing about trying to regain anything I lost.
[ ....... ]
If it's that worth concealing, maybe it's not something I want to know.
Understanding the past — especially the not-so-fun things — is often critical to managing the present. You may not remember who you are, but that doesn't mean no one else will. And if the old you was a questionable character, I would think you'd be better off knowing what to prepare for.
If you were from my world, I could send you back temporarily to watch whatever happened back then from an outside perspective... but alas, I'm afraid your personal history is out of my reach as well.
They've had five years to catch up to me. If they were going to, they already would have. [ the irony of this is not lost on me, given his canon point. ] Or a better way of putting it might be -- I'm not actually sure what I could do about it anyway. Other than just adapt and deal with it.
[ .... ]
Well, there's small mercies everywhere. I've had enough of people literally watching my memories like it's the evening news.

Internet searches for your name didn't get you anything useful?

Nah. Kaname Date's me as I am now, entirely. The identity was made for me.
