[Someone has been having a month. technically two. so she looks almost combative when she asks]

Right, apparently I--me--some version of me has been here before.

I'm asking who knew me, what they knew about me, and if they want to keep knowing me.

[private to Kylo Ren]

Did you know?

...

[She breathed in slowly and then sighed, a long drawn out one.]

She disappeared six months ago. I am lonely... to an extent, but when I did not see the squids this month, I accepted that I might never see her again. I love her, but I will be able to continue. I know she's safe. That's what matters to me. [Not entirely true, but close enough.] I am not willing to live my life pining for her forever. I just am not as good as the Doorway in this.

Safe? Oh! [She nodded] You are as safe as you can be in this town. Nobody is thinking ill of you, I should think, just because you were here before. You are simply one more of us. And to that point? I am Vira-Lorr. It is nice to meet you, miss.

I'm ok, promise. My life's been complicated, and it does hurt... but I've been starting to move on, knowing we may be apart and simply loving the time we had.

[She smiled fondly.]

Yes, the Doorway is about relationships and bonds, even the bad ones. She seems to bolster all chances for people to bind themselves both normally and magically.

That can be hard to figure out sometimes. My trainwreck of past relationships before I got married definitely tells a few stories. If there's someone who doesn't understand, perhaps try to talk to them and just tell them. It sounds so obvious, but it's amazing how many times I don't do that. And considering what you're going through today? What you're doing right now, opening communication? It's good.

[She noticed the flush and chuckled softly to herself before nodding.]

A very understandable concern. In the end, though. You are the you who is here now, and that's the important part. You will be the only you that is this you, so embrace the singularity that is your person.

[Did that mean she dated two different Minakos? She wasn't going to dwell on that thought.]

Well, perhaps I would put it this way. Just be you, and let people get to know you as you, and try not to worry about the 'other you.' In the end, she's you. You just don't remember being her.

Trust me, it's awful. [She laughed darkly.] I once found out that years before I arrived, there'd been other sleepers in the nightmare. A group of my friends had been trapped there long before. I spent years chasing them. It was ... too much pain in the end. Just be yourself. You'll be fine.

[She didn't add that they'd actually been from a doomed timeline of her own world. That little tidbit wasn't important. Deerington could be so cruel with its revelations at times.]

Galaxy... a lot? [Pause. No, that definitely told her a little. There were only so many Sleepers.] You are from the same reality as Obi-Wan and Maul, are you not? It is not important really. I simply do not hear the word "galaxy" used often like that.

And... it was a little painful, but they had peace in the end. However, knowing Obi-Wan, I suspect he would think as well of you as your other self. I doubt he'd see a difference.

In the end, you actually are you. And I am firmly of the view it is enough.

It can be hard to keep track sometimes, especially if enough time has passed between when you were drawn from and when someone else was. You're not truly late, but I can appreciate the feeling.

But, in the meantime, you may always feel free to give me a call, if you wish. I'm often around and available.
