I haven't gotten a new memory in awhile.

It used to be practically every weekend, but it's been over a month, now. I wonder if something's changed.

Guess I shouldn't complain though. It's been easier to focus on school and pretend I'm normal. It almost even feels like it, sometimes. After that whole invasion thing, I'm kinda glad for it. That was insane. Even though I was there the whole time, I still can't believe that happened, sometimes.

This whole summer was like a fever dream. I wish it had been.

All this to say: I hope everyone's doing okay.

Dimension hopping and having thoughts from other selves stuffed into our heads can do that, I think. Not. That I know that from her. Ugh, I played myself! [A pause, as Lisa groans and thunks her head into her desk. Just once, she only played herself a little.]

I appreciate that, Elliott. I do. It's strange - yeah, I'm working hard to be a big deal, and my heart is in it again, but I'm doing it because she was a big deal, and I don't want to lose to myself. It's hard to separate those! But I'm trying. It helps that Roselia had no need for an acoustic guitar. Or a rhythm guitar. Or someone to sing in English. Have I mentioned I really wish I had a copy of Anfang to show off how good they were?

But hey. Just because I'm a tryhard doesn't make you any less awesome, even if I'm a little biased. I'm glad I have you to fall back on when I do something dumb. Or when I'm not doing something dumb and just need someone I can be me around. It's so exhausting to be on all the time, you know? And neither of us need memories or powers or anything else for that. Just you and me.

Yeah, I get that. I'm glad you're comfortable around me. It's always great just hanging out with you, so anytime.
