THE MEMORY SHARE MEME
(i want every single person here to appreciate how hard it was to find a gif that adequately conveyed the idea of this meme)

HOW IT WORKS:
⍟ Post your character's toplevel with their name, canon and anything you might need to warn for in their memories.
⍟ Post a handful of memories from your character's past -- you can write them up or just links to clips and scenes, DO IT HOWEVER YOU LIKE.
⍟ SURPRISE, EVERYONE CAN SEE EACH OTHER'S MEMORIES so tag around as you like
⍟ GET EMOTIONALLY TERRORIZED FOR THE HOLIDAYS

You were pretty angry, huh?

[A simple statement, an observation. Rin's not the best at saying moving words, so he goes for the simple stuff instead.

'Anger' probably isn't the best word to describe those feeling though. It looks like an all-consuming rage. A kind of rage Rin is familiar with, actually. So maybe that's why he's seeing this, because he can help Takumi in some way. That has to be it.]

[Takumi gives a small bark of laughter at that. The Takumi standing here now is... calmer, then the one in all three memories. Being dead had that effect: he had perspective he never had before.

But he remembers that feeling so brightly. He will never forget it]

Yeah, I guess that's a word for it.

[flamingprick]

That kinda anger, it really burns, doesn't it? Like a too-hot fire you can't put out, and it just burns outta control until you're standing there and everyone's scared of you again.

[Yep, definitely something he had experience with.

He's going to stand near Takumi now, though still a few steps off to give him space.]

But I guess that fire's gone out now, huh?

[tacomeme]

[Normally he would bristle at a stranger being even this close to him, but the memories have worn him out, and he can't bring himself to care]

I... don't know if it will ever really go out. The thing that was stoking them is gone though.

[flamingprick]

Well that's good. It means I don't gotta stab you now.

[He does have a sword with him and all. But after a moment, Rin does decide to clarify.]

It doesn't hurt people, only 'things like that thing'. I guess if I'd gotten here sooner I could've saved your world a lot of trouble. Sorry for that.

[tacomeme]

It's... fine. No one even knew what was happening, me included. I just thought it was my own doubts talking.

[flamingprick]

That's how they get in, you know. They feed on doubts like that.

Though I guess telling you now won't matter much, huh? They can't possess ghosts.
