It’s not possible…

What’s not possible?

There was a Tik Tok tarot reading tonight… it said something about how, we’ve seen or met each other before…

Like, my interpretation is that, this is even before when we first met in Melbourne…

If we had seen or met, somehow crossed paths before even that instance…

When are you thinking it might’ve happened?

On a school trip. To Japan. When I was about 15 years old…

You think I could’ve been in Japan around that time as well?

IT’S. NOT. POSSIBLE.

Why not?

Because that person seemed really, really tall… and they were… more like Nude Face… and they seemed OLDER… like, so much older than me…

(Smirk)

WHAT. THE. HELL?!?!?!!?!

I don’t know what you’re implying.

Every time. Every memory I have. Even once in Taiwan — of bumping into a “similar to Nude Face” — it’s been YOU?!?!!

I… don’t know…? I don’t think so…? We don’t have those memories together.

It just doesn’t seem possible. I can’t remember now… was the Older Nude Face alone? Was there other… I thought there was also a young girl? I don’t know for sure…

A young girl?

Was she a young girl? Or a boy? With long hair?!?!?!!

A boy with long hair?!!?

DID I SEE YOU ON THE STREETS OF TOKYO IN 2000 AND YOU HAD LONG HAIR LIKE A GIRL?!?!?!?!?!!??!!?

Was it on the streets?

No. Not exactly. It was at a… train station or a bus stop… what the hell are YOU doing in TOKYO in the year 2000?!?!! At a train station or bus stop with an older relative, taller relative, that looks like you in your Nude Face form?!?!?!!??!

I… wasn’t?! (Laughing)

Okay then… so it wasn’t you… but I remember seeing… what I thought, at the time, was a young girl… slightly younger than me…

Wait, wait, wait — what were YOU doing in Tokyo in the year 2000?!

I just said it! Scroll up! I was on a SCHOOL TRIP.

You went on a school trip to Tokyo?!

Yes… we went on a school trip. Maybe it wasn’t even Tokyo. We went around. We went to a few cities… Tokyo, Kyoto… Fukuoka… Hiroshima… I can’t even remember the rest of the other cities but there were quite a few stops.

(Thinking about this)… What time of year?

I can’t remember now, exactly… maybe… September…? I really can’t say for sure.

Hmmph.

What?!?!?!

No, like, I’ve… had some family trips to Japan throughout my younger “tweenie” years… I have no idea. Maybe?!?! MAYBE we bumped into each other on the streets of Tokyo or Kyoto or Fukuoka or wherever!?!?! I don’t know, either!

Did you have long hair, though?!!? Like a YOUNG GIRL?!?!!?!?

I was with my Uncle… my Uncle… looks like me… now… Nude Face… with all my pustular acne… millennial…

And he’s really tall?!?!!?

Yeah… he’s taller than me… even me now… Do you remember if you interacted with them?

No… maybe? I think I remember just smiling? Saying “Hi” — to both of them?! I don’t remember exactly…

Your classmates said, “Is that a girl or a boy?!” And you smiled. You were so nice…

… Is this real?!!?! I can’t even believe my own thoughts…

No, it wasn’t me. But I’m just imagining that interaction. Your classmates said, “Is that a girl or a boy?!” — And the Uncle — let’s assume he was her Uncle — had pustular acne — it was disturbing to look at… They were judging. But you didn’t judge them. You just smiled and said hi… That’s so nice…

I think I even tried to say, “konnichiwa” ~~~ (Giggles)
