[Well, this sure is a text, isn't it. Good thing he's his own boss and can fuck around on his phone at work, he'll respond pretty quickly!]
I didn't remember a specific instance with them, instead I remembered their names and appearances, as well as the feelings that came with it. Yeager was very apathetic most of the time and many of his memories only come with apathy, but it was different remembering Gauche and Droite. He did love them, as much as he was capable of at that point, I think.
To be honest, I was a little frightened. Learning that I had an entirely different family situation in my past life was overwhelming. I don't think I'd be capable of caring for children at this point, even if they were teenagers. But they felt like family, and not having someone that close to me in this life left me feeling hollow, in a way.
I don't feel like that as often anymore, but I do miss them.
I'm not sure how many children Dazai had - at least two daughters, one illegitimate, but this is my first memory of one of them directly. They were in what was probably an air raid shelter. Dazai was reading a picture book of The Farmer and the Badger to his daughter - she couldn't have been more than five at the time.
She said "The badger... what a pity." Apparently that was the phrase she picked up and repeated at everything. But Dazai thought the sentiment had merit.
She liked badgers. I don't know her name yet, but I know she liked badgers.
It's interesting how that works out, isn't it? I remembered Gauche and Droite before I remembered anything else about my past life.
If you remember anything else about your children, you can always talk to me about it. I understand how strange it can feel; it doesn't seem to be something most people are dealing with.
[There's Elda, but Elda has a family in this life which means she's dealing with a different host of issues.]
Godddd I don't even know where I'd start venting about what's going on currently. I'd use up my entire data plan complaining about it. This isn't even my normal phone and I'd still use all my data somehow.
It's dreadful, isn't it? I really should have expected something like this since apparently we can't expect the world to stay stable for any length of time. I'm hoping next month will be more relaxed...
Normally I'd try to argue that real life isn't always like that, but considering that we're more or less in a video game right now, I think I'll just take the loss and give up.
I'd be a bit surprised if you didn't consider me a friend at this point! You've even ventured into my heart and argued with a past version of myself I conjured out of incomplete memories, if that doesn't make us friends, what will?

Can you tell me about Dazai's children?

[look Shuji it's not my fault that I prioritized game canon over historical memories for you and your kids aren't in that]

Thanks. If there's anything I can do for you, even if it's just listening to you vent about something totally unrelated, let me know.
