There's no need to fear the past. The past is just a memory.

I mean, he's not a bad namesake if that's the case.

[allmenare]

It's not really a namesake if it's just another version of me.

[He's looking through the book now? Not really reading it all, just skimming it to see the chapter titles and maybe read a paragraph or two.

There's a small, bittersweet smile on his face.]

[silicone]

What'd you find?

[ leaning in ]

[allmenare]

Nothing specific.

[He's just open to one of the random chapters in the book. I, Maple, have not read it, so.]

Just...another version of me actually got to be a writer.

[silicone]

[ tilting his head at the way that's phrased ]

Actually got to be? Were you trying to be at one point?

[allmenare]

It's something I'd always wanted, but never had the time to do. But it's reassuring to know that somewhere, somehow I managed it.

[silicone]

Why didn't you pursue it?

[allmenare]

As a child, my parents said such things weren't suitable for a job. And by the time I turned 18, we were on the brink of war. Random came along not too long after I left the military, so.

[He's always been busy.]

[silicone]

Mmm... I see... always so dutiful. I get why it didn't pan out, but... you ever think about taking it up again?
