Oh... Oh god... why? Why would anyone-

UGHH!

[have some more disbelieving sounds as Naruto stands outside the kitchen, watching an image of Allen get stabbed ... in the eye by Rhode, over and over again. he can't look away]

WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER-...

[aiohdaj clutches at his own eye, just... unable to stop staring]

I'm glad I'm not- [a pause as he looks for the name] Allen... Walker, holy crap! I wonder if this is real. Knowing the castle and all... I hope not!

I wonder if there are weird pictures of me around.

You did.

But I know that boy in the picture isn't me. His name is Arthur, I saw him in the castle and this is the second time I've found a memory about him with my name on it. I don't know why.

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

... So you're saying the castle is messing up?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

That or it's on purpose.

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

Why would it do that when everyone else believes in their memories?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I don't know. But I do know I'm Allen Walker and he is not.

[He crosses his arms as he thinks]

Maybe my memory is watching it happen to him...

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

[HE'S SO CONFUSED]

...

What?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[man this kid is slow...he tries to explain]

If these are our memories, why would we be able to see ourselves in them? They should be from our point of view, shouldn't they?

So maybe this is my memory, and I'm seeing something that happened to Arthur.

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

But... that's not how it is in the other ones.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Maybe those memories are taken from someone else's point of view.

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

But...

...

ARGH! YOU'RE CONFUSING ME!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[...]

It's not that confusing, um...[OH YEAH IDK YOUR NAME]...sir.

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

Yes it is! I met the other guy earlier too and he was saying the same crap! And my name is Naruto!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

You mean Arthur? Look, it makes sense. If I saw that happen to him, then maybe it is my memory, that's all!

[stops]

Naruto? You mean Uzumaki Naruto?

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, but Arthur or whatever looks like this guy. And he said it isn't his memory! So how can you be looking at him when he says he's looking at YOU?!

...

Yeah?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[WE'RE SORRY NARUTO; ALLEN WILL PROBABLY APOLOGIZE LATER.] I think you're over thinking it. It's simply that it's taken from my own memories of watching it happen to him. That or the castle simply mislabeled our memories.

I might have a photograph of yours then.

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

... This is too much for my brain. I'm not giving it to you!

[:o his expression brightens, waiting for something awesome and happy] Really? What!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Fine. Then give it to Arthur. But I am Allen Walker.

Um...[He digs into his coat pocket and pulls out the photo of Naruto on his emo swing] Here. I guess it's from your childhood.

[oirokenojutsu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. [DOESN'T BELIEVE ANY OF YOU, RRR]

[takes it and stares... sort of... disappointed and worried aodhaid] ... Why do I look so sad?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[W/E THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED]

I don't know. That's all I found.
