Strange. Is it normal to think you'll turn into another person if you change your hair?

Mother and Father said I seemed dimmer than usual.

... Change your hair? It's... Not a general thought, though I guess it would apply to changing your personal image...

And my mind, too. It feels like it would if I changed my hair.

... Generally, in a normal stance, it's not the case.

If it were so, than many people would suddenly "change", if they got something such as a haircut. However, I guess if one were to believe that enough...

... Then I shouldn't get a hair cuit.

... I can't really say anything about that, but... Do you know why you think that?

It alters how you look, and how you look determines how you act.

How you act, maybe, but it doesn't change who you are. It's... Common sense.

How I act is who I am.

But how one acts isn't mainly focused on the physical... But I guess there's no point in arguing beliefs, such as that.

... Agreed, there is no point arguing.

Of course.

So how are you?

Good, apparently dimmer.

... Which has me ask. Dimmer?

Less intelligent.

... Ah. Maybe you just... Need to learn more?

... I guess, but I thought I was learning well.

Maybe you are, but maybe the information just... Isn't being shown fast enough.

... Huh?

... What I mean to say is, you're being a bit slow on the uptake and responses. Which might be why you seem "dimmer" to them.

... Weird.

...That is very odd.

Huh?

The conversation you had above. I suppose it would not be out of possibility to say that appearance has a profound effect on behavior, and vice-versa, but it is strange.

Strange? I think it makes complete sense.

In a way, I suppose it would. A drastic change in appearance would make one act in a different behaviors. But for it to seemingly affect things such as intelligence is very strange, to me.

Generally though, it wouldn't make you a completely different person. You are who you are.

You are defined by how you look, I have surmised.

...Some people can think that, but I personally disagree. While people will expect you to act a certain way if you dress a certain way, your personality is your own, and can be anything based on any number of things. What you like to do and what kind of person you are, nice, cruel, etc. can determine how people think of you.

What people think of me determines what I like, what I do, and what not.

...Again, I disagree. Only you can determine who you are and what you do. Relying on other people's opinions of you to determine your life does not seem... truthful?

It is the truth.

I guess what I'm saying is... what is constant about you makes you who you are.

So.. who are you?

Wakahisa Noriko. My... friends... call me Moeko.

...Well, I would hope to become your friend, then. My name is Hengenjizai Satoru. Do you mind if I call you Moeko, as well?

I do not mind.

I am glad to get to know you then, Moeko-san.

Thank you, whoever you are.

Hengenjizai Satoru. Just call me Satoru, Moeko-san.

... Alright, Satoru.
