In the vision I had, there was a giant, floating tree called Yggdrasil. Someone in it said its leaves were responsible for death and rebirth or something. So I looked it up, and it's something from a myth.

I can't stop thinking about it.

A past life. Other worlds. Is the Bureau saying that reincarnation is real?

I'm so confused. I don't know what to tell my mom. She's going to think I'm crazy.

Advice would be great, if anyone has any.

Sorry for the trouble.

Scatter-brained?

Don't think you're the only one. We might all be feeling that.

Yeah, probably.

It's kind of isolating, too.

Isolating? I hadn't thought of it that way.

Yeah, we're 'Different', after all- not the same as other people anymore. It feels like I can't talk to anyone outside of this network.

I might not be the most social person, but if you don't talk to people who aren't like us, you might miss out on info.

I mean about all this Different stuff. I don't usually keep secrets, so it's just weird, I guess.

Did they ever explicitly say we have to keep stuff about being Different secret?

Normal people know we exist already.

Secrets are useless.

No, but I don't really want anyone I know to treat me any differently. I'm already worried what my mom is going to think.

You won't know till you talk to her.

Yeah.
Yeah.

You telling anyone?

My mom, for sure, so she doesn't worry.

Maybe the neighborhood cats.

You think she'll worry less if you tell her?

Might be easier to accept coming from me.

I guess that's true. How do you think you'll approach it?

With honesty. Why hold back with my mom?

Well yeah, but how do you think you'll bring it up? Just hey mom, so I'm Different and I get visions of a past life?

Yes.

[.....]

Would that be a bad idea?

I don't know. I don't think I'd bring it up that way, but I don't have any ideas about it yet either.

I'll see if my mom knows anything about the Different then before telling her.

See her reaction to them beforehand.

That makes sense. Mind letting me know how it goes?

Yeah, I can do that. If it isn't a disaster, because no one wants to hear about a disaster unless it's in a really good story.

I dunno, maybe we could work out how to resolve it together if that happens.

Maybe. I'm not that good at having others help me with problems.
