You know...at one point I would've made a post like this anonymously. Not because I'm ashamed or anything, exactly, but because sometimes you just want to talk about things without your name attached, you know? So that it's not really about you, just about the advice you're looking for. Or because you don't want people to look at you differently after they hear about it.

I guess it's because it's been so hot lately that it got me thinking about it. And also because of Cordis, a little. Sometimes I get wings for Cordis, and then all of a sudden my wardrobe gets pretty limited when it comes to...that. But anyway.

Really what I wanted to ask is —

For people who have scars, how do you think about them? Like are they a part of your identity now, or do they still bother you? Do they feel wrong when you look at them? And — if you are okay with them, did you do something to make yourself more okay with them? Or are you just kind of...never going to be okay with them, no matter what?

I have some. I think they're ugly, and hard to look at, and I try to keep them covered up so that they won't bother people who might see them. I guess really what I'm wondering is whether that's a feeling that's ever likely to change.

It's just something that's been on my mind more and more lately, is all.

I want to know if I'm a protagonist or not! And if I'm not, then what role I am instead, you know?

What's the matter, you have a problem with ghosts? Don't go assuming I'm vengeful or something just because of that! I hate it when people jump to conclusions like that!

No offense, but ghosts have a lot more important things to be doing than locking people in sleep paralysis. Usually we have a to-do list!

Oh, I'm Reimi. My name is Reimi Sugimoto.

[There are two possible ways of interpreting this guy's convictions about the things he's saying. One is that she really is, somehow, a fictional character, which is clearly false and would make him certifiably cuckoo. Obviously.

The other, slightly more bizarre but kind of comforting, is the random notion that maybe someday Rohan will author a manga about the things they did in Morioh, and she's a part of it, and somehow this guy has read it.

There are plenty of holes with that theory, but that doesn't matter. It's a nice thought, nevertheless.]

Aww, well. It's not a very nice story, I guess, but I'm sure the parts with my friends are great!

...Wait, really? Merchandise??

[naturallywavy]

sometimes the sad stories are the ones people like the most...

oh yeah.. tons of merchandise..
