Heh. I guess you have a real sweet tooth, huh?

...oh dear. I guess history repeats itself.

It was good.

... Huh?

I'm sure it was. I guess I should have kept some candy around when you were here, huh?

This happened before. When... well, I suppose from your perspective, back before your mind was ripped out.

"Were here"?

... Ripped out?

Yes. Before you went to reconnect with your parents.

...ah. Well... it's a long, confusing story, but... suffice to say, you went mad from the pressure from your parents conflicting with your ability to make any friends. I didn't see the event itself firsthand, but... I did see the results.

...well, I'm sure it'd be confusing for you regardless of how I explained it, but we basically ended up with three Norikos. One that doesn't call herself Noriko, the mind that got ripped out and put in a very different body... and you, Moeko.

I... remember that.

... Then those people shouldn't use my name.

Remember which part?

Names are rarely 100% unique. Besides, they've established their own lives now, more or less. You're the only one who seemed to want to pick up the pieces.

My parents...

I don't... like the fact other people are using my name, especially that woman...

Mm... Well, you're still a lot calmer than you were back then.

It's not just your name, Moeko. There's probably a few other Wakahisa's named Noriko out there, or in the past. Maybe even completely unrelated to you. Think of it as being more coincidence, and you'll be much happier.

... So I should be more upset...?

... I still... don't like someone using my name... like that.

No, no, it's good that you're calmer. Had you been able to stay calm, you probably wouldn't have so many pieces to pick up in the first place.

Well, you're the only "Moeko" that I know of, so just take solace in that.

...?

But I'm also Noriko...

You wouldn't have (literally) lost your mind if you hadn't figuratively lost it first. Probably.

You are also a Noriko. And I don't mean as in "one of the Norikos", but as in being one of the people with Noriko as a name.

...?

... And your explanations annoys me about these other two.

...Stay calm and you'll keep your memories. Longer, anyway.

... Just... forget about them, alright? They've cut ties with your parents, so you're the only one publicly claiming to be that Noriko Wakahisa. That should be enough.

I... was that bad... I don't remember, to be honest.

... I guess.

I'm not surprised. I really doubt you could remember all that much. About your past, that is.

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about your job... I take it you really enjoyed it there.

I remember... a decent amount.

I liked the clothes mostly. The customers... weren't the best, but I did like the clothes.

Ah? I suppose asking you 'like what' would be rather unfair... can you give me an idea what you remember of your life, though? Friends, family, social position, that sort of thing?

Well, would your parents let you wear the clothes just around your own home?

Shiroko-chan? Kouji-chan...? My dog? ... Though I think he's getting ill. But... Shiroko and Kouji have avoided me...

My father is a banking executive, my mother I think is... I'm not sure what the proper term is.

"Rich Bimbo." I think is what people call me.

No. Instant disowning. I should not subjugate myself to the excrete of the mindless proletariat. Whatever that means.

Your dog you say?

As to Shiroko and Kouji... well, in their eyes, you've been gone two... maybe three years now. You might talk to them about the times you remember, and maybe they'll help you fill in the blanks.

Not sure I can help you there, then.

I see...

Do you have any siblings? Does the money matter all that much to you?

yes.

... I've... tried. They snub me.

I think there is a term, but... it's inappropriate.

...

None. And... it's hard to say?

I don't remember you mentioning your dog before. Maybe I've just forgotten.

That was before you started remembering, wasn't it?

I imagine.

...hmm?

I see. Still, I'm surprised they'd still be so hard on you, especially after everything you've been through... and especially without another heir.

It... is the only thing at our estate that treats us kindly.

... Even after.

Yes.

Am I... that stupid?

... Been through? And... they say that's exactly why they're so hard.

..."us"?

...Mmm... That's a pity. But like I said, they've moved on with their lives, I think. It's hard to play catch-up with that.

Mmm... I don't think I'd call you stupid, Moeko. But you're lacking a lot of foundation that most people take for granted. They don't know your circumstances, so they take your intelligence for granted. I, on the other hand, know where you started, and feel you've made very good progress.

You know, with why you can't remember, and how you've been gone for years where your parents are concerned.

Still, it's a real shame... I wasn't especially close with you back then, but I'm pretty sure that kind of pressure is what made you snap in the first place... you couldn't be really happy and make your parents accept you at the same time.
