...robots, I think. Artificial intelligence of some kind. I think it was a science school. And I think he might have been my age. Maybe younger. I don't know.

[He doesn't even like high school, why the hell was he in college?]

Robot's got a name too. Megabot. I built him.

Megabot sounds like a name a kid would make up.

You just remembered all this today, then?

I don't know when I created him. Maybe I was an actual kid.
It's been about a week and a half. I've been trying to figure out what all of it means.
I have an answer but it doesn't make sense so I'm looking for a different one.

What answer did you get?

He was an inventor of some kind.
And maybe really, really smart.
Younger than sixteen, I know that much.
But I remember other robots that were created. I thought I was just presenting them, but I think those might have been his, too.
I'm the dumber recreation of that guy.

[He's not dumb, and he knows that, but he's definitely sure he wouldn't be able to get into college right this second so who the hell was that Hiro?]

Well if he's designing robots then he was clearly brilliant.
Maybe you'll inherit some sort of super-intelligence from him like I did fire.

That wouldn't be bad would it?

Maybe not, but I'm not even sure what I would do with it. I can probably expect more robots in the future though. I remember some of his friends, too. Older. Almost your age. They seemed okay. Did your fire powers get stronger yet?

Sounds like he was quite the socialite.

And no, not yet. I don't even remember anything about them.
Just a few people, hanging out when we were teenagers.

Maybe. Should I be worried about that? Do you remember their names? Names are missing from my memories.

Mamoru?
I heard that name. That's it.

That sounds like a cat's name.
Names missing seems a little more common than we might think.
But that's even worse.

It is worse.
And I don't think he was all that special.
Just some dude she knew.

...not a boyfriend, right?

It didn't feel that way.
He wasn't that good looking, either.

Maybe that's a good thing then. I've been trying to figure out how to trigger more of my memories faster. See if there's an order I can remember things. So far everything's been really out of sync. And some things don't match up at all...it's almost like two different lives in the same set of memories.

What do you mean by that?
I don't quite follow.

Like...I'm me. Or he's me. Or I'm him? God, whatever. Whoever I'm remembering is some weird genius kid who creates robots and stuff. But then he's also doing something else like punching monsters in the face and jumping off of billboards and stuff.
