#chapter 5 is SO enticing but i need to beat that boss so bad

yo im back

r1999 chap 2 spoilers (and very mini chapter 4 + 5 spoilers),, beware newcomers disappears in poof of smoke

my roman empire (as to speak) is that if you're away from somebody with no actual fucking photographical evidence of what they look like you will forget them.

example: i was off the internet for a good 2 years, and during that time period i forgot the hairstyle of one of my good friends. man, when i tell you that fucked with me, i really mean it --

but what does this have to do with reverse 1999?

boy, am i glad you asked. :D

it's become clear that even if schneider will come back later in the story, her reversal is a key point in the story and has already affected the people who once knew her. sonetto used her experiences with her to defend madam z and earn the latter votes, while vertin carries the memories with her through her therapy sessions and brings up her loss when speaking to arcana -- nobody has forgotten her. well.. yet.

as much as i would love for schneider to return as soon as possible (or at all for that matter), it's so very unlikely that that is where our story goes at this point in time. in order to prolong the plot point of fighting for schneider, her tragedy must remain the same -- the character's motivation for fighting must remain.

my point is, in short, that schneider is likely not coming back anytime soon -- and as such, the main cast is going to start to forget.

forget, again and again and again. what she looks like, how she sounded, how she spoke. maybe, if she ever returns, they'll mistake her for a fake because they feel something's amiss -- because they mistake her for a sweet dream, a faux their mind has supplied them with that mimics her features.

it makes one wonder how far the request "don't forget me" really goes, doesn't it?
