Hey, community? If it's okay, I have a question for everyone. It's a little strange, but, well, a strange community is the best place to ask a strange question, right? What do you do... no, that's not right. Has anyone ever been in a situation where their memories didn't make sense anymore? If you were... what do you think that would mean?

Ha ha, I said it was strange, right? Even if you don't have an answer, thanks for your time. It's just been weighing on my mind lately, that's all.

How do you mean? There's quite a few ways for that to happen, I've found.

[stillneedawish]

Well, I started noticing it a while ago, but it didn't really start worrying me until recently. Mm, how shall I put this... it's that, I feel like I have too many memories. It feels like I've been on the community for months, and it's passed October, Christmas, and New Year since I've been here... but on my world, I can only ever remember it being March or April. Jade-san told me time might just be going really slowly for me, but that doesn't seem quite right either...

[pinksugargirl]

With all of the viruses here, I sometimes feel like my memories aren't quite right sometimes.

Is something wrong, Madoka-chan?

[stillneedawish]

Oh, that's right, isn't it? I know how that feels too. There was a virus last year that made me think I was playing a game that ended the world, and it all felt so real at the time.

No, not wrong exactly... but I think there's something strange about the time between my world and the community. Or it might just be my memories that are strange... I don't know.

[starblaze]

... Some of my memories aren't my own.

What do you mean by them not making sense anymore?

[stillneedawish]

Ehh, really? Doesn't that get confusing sometimes?

Mm, well, I feel like I have too many memories for the rest of me, if that makes sense. When I think about it, things don't add up the way they should.

[angel_promise]

Hm. I think.. maybe.. I think I would think I was dreaming something... maybe.
Or, I was remembering something so differently, that it warped my perception of something.

Does that make sense? Are you okay?

[stillneedawish]

Oh yes, that makes sense, so don't worry! Mm... that's a little like what I'm feeling like, but I think it might be something else... I don't know.

I'm okay, it's just that, I don't think my memories add up any more. I remember months and months and months of things happening here on the community, but for some reason when I think about my world, I only ever remember it being March or April here... but that can't be right, can it?

[sandinmyboots]

Yes, that's happened before. Do you want details?

[MAGIC. IS. MESSED. UP.]

[stillneedawish]

Ah, well, only if you're okay with telling me! Memories are personal things, so I wouldn't want to intrude.

[quicktoreward]

I've been thinking about similar stuff lately, too. Not time but it's just some things seem different.

[stillneedawish]

What sorts of things?

[childrenoflilim]

Sometimes.

[stillneedawish]

Shinji-san! It's been a while!

Mm, but you too, huh... it's a little troubling, isn't it?

[ex_apocryphas39]

It is not impossible, no.

To undergo much in quite a small span, to experience any number of thoughts throughout days -- Man might only possess so much before such details and memories become lost.

[stillneedawish]

Um, you mean... like memory loss, you mean? Mm, well... I think this might be a little different, though. I feel like I have too many memories, not too few.

[heavenlyhome]

Oh, dear. Are you remembering something that has not happened?

[stillneedawish]

Oh no, it's not anything like that, Kasumi-san. Everything I can remember happened, at least on this community! It's just that, even though I have months and months' worth of memories here, I can only ever remember it being March or April on my world.

[icantbelievethis]

Did something happen, Madoka-chan?

[stillneedawish]

Mm, not exactly. At least, not all at once. It's just that lately, my memories aren't adding up quite the way they should. I've never really thought about it much before, but the more time passed, the more obvious it's started to get.

[selfished]

How are your memories supposed to not make sense? Do you mean some sorta amnesia or something like that?

[stillneedawish]

No, not amnesia exactly! Actually, it's sort of the opposite. I feel like I have too many memories for them only to have happened in the same two months.

[fugal]

Eh? Madoka, what's wrong?

[stillneedawish]

Mm, how to explain it... it's just that recently, I've started to feel like I have too many memories, if that makes sense. Even though I've been on the community for months and months, here at home it's only ever been March or April.

That sounds a little crazy, right?

[shadow_spread]

[...oh dear.]

How is it that they don't make sense?

[stillneedawish]

They don't line up properly. On the community, it's been summer, autumn, and now Christmas and New Year since I joined, but on my own world it's only ever been March or April while all these things have happened. I guess the best way to put it is that it feels like I have too many memories, a little. But even that isn't quite right...

Have you ever heard of anything like that, Sumimura-san?

[oceanicbutterfly]

My third year in middle school lasted for several years somehow.

[stillneedawish]

Three years?! How?
