[Jun changes his username to something different, so it should be unrecognizable as Jun to most people. He uploads a picture of a sketch:]



Does this symbol mean anything to anyone?

[That's it. That's the post. What a chatty guy]

A hero?

[THAT...FEELS LIKE A STRETCH KEN BUT BLESS YOU]

[whatsamada]

It makes sense, right?

You don't think so?

[UNLESS THE SYMBOL IS SUPPOSE TO BE FROM AN EVIL ORGANIZATION BUT...!]

[whiteshroud]

[...]

It could be one reading of him, I suppose.

I don't have enough memories to say one way or another yet.

[whatsamada]

Regardless of what it might be, I'm hope that it'll be something good. I have yet to hear where the memories turned out to be for the worse.

[...Ken had to admit, even he wasn't sure. However, it wasn't something he wanted to write to publicly.]

[whiteshroud]

[There's a long pause. Jun has spent the past six months dealing with series of memories involving seriously awful shit, so this really doesn't line up with his experience ]

I'd have to disagree. That other life was worse than what I have now.

[whatsamada]

[And there it was. So much for trying to be hopeful.]

Sorry, I didn't know that. [Pause] Are you going to be okay?

[whiteshroud]

[A pause]

Yes. I have many good things in this life now.

[his father, his friends, his interests. He has so much more than his other self]

[whatsamada]

That's a good thing though. From the sound of it, you seem like you're pretty happy with what you have.

[That and the last thing he would want is for somebody to be miserable.]

[whiteshroud]

I am. I'm very grateful for what I have.

[That's a sincere sentiment. He knows how differently things could've turned out, but he's been oh so lucky. ]

[whatsamada]

If that's the case, I really hope that nothing bad happens to you. It's not a fun feeling when you could have gone down the wrong path.

[whiteshroud]

Thanks.

[....]

Did you almost go down a wrong path?

[whatsamada]

[Ken was faced with a difficult task of what to do. On the one hand, he knew he had to open up to people. On the other, he wasn't sure if he would be willing to say it in front of an open network. What was he to do?

>Tell him.
>Scream and run.
>Be vague.

>Tell him. You want to tell him but you don't have enough courage for it.

>Scream and run. You want to but your understanding is too great.

...>Be vague.]

Let's just say I could have and looking back, I don't want to know what would have happened if I did.

[whiteshroud]

[Ken's life is truly suffering. Jun notices the vagueness of the message. But like he can't talk considering he hasn't exactly been open here.

I see. Then it's good you didn't go down that path.

[whatsamada]

[Again, there was a long pause on his end before he responded.]

So just know that I hope it will be the same for you. I guess you can use me as a cautionary tale of what could happen.

And that you don't go down whatever path your other self was.

[whiteshroud]

[....]

I don't need more cautionary tales. I have plenty.

Are you alright?

[Jun isn't that emotionally adept but even he's a little worried!]

[whatsamada]

[....]

I'll be fine. I've already dealt with my fair share of painful memories. It's nothing I can't handle.

[whiteshroud]

[A pause. He's sure if this was his father or August, they'd know what to say. But Jun however....yeah, he doesn't]

Alright.
