No it's fine, don't worry about it. It's been months since I've got here in home time, so I'm doing all right now. It does get easier with time.

and as for your sleep, i'm not sure. I don't know how things work around here but time is a pretty fluid concept for them, as well as death. It might be that you could start remembering things

if they reworked your memories rather than plucked you out of your home at the time you remember being taken. Or it might be that they did do just that. Or it might even be that you're not the same Petra that was here before

It's just weird... Things don't feel that different, except they do.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Like there's a constant feeling I can't 'escape' whatever happened, even if it technically didn't happen...

If it's okay to ask, do you ever get dreams about it?
no subject

[Oy vey.
This is really...not what he needs. But it's not as if the whole matter is ever far from his mind. Particularly not these days.]

The CDC pulled me from my world before anything happened.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I was just wondering if I might start remembering it in my sleep or something. [ Bad dreams are hardly uncommon to soldiers, after all. ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
...Sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked. I just don't know who else to talk to about this kind of thing.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I'm okay. Sleeping funny.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Without nightmares at least. But I'll get used to it.
i could have sworn i had a tab up with this tag already started where did it go
Oh man. Okay. Did anyone tell you what happened?

Take a look at this: exhibit a and exhibit b

Hange. Do you know her?
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I'm glad to hear it, and I'll try to keep that in mind.
[ She squints at her blackglass a little at the last two messages, though. ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Wait, are you serious? [ Double-checking the links-- yep, legit files, two whole eagle in the CDC. ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Okay you're serious.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
That's crazy????
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I think I'm the same Petra though, according to my friends.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I hope I am.
