...To The Past? [Open]

"Why did I come in here?"

There were very few things Sasami regretted. One of those things? Walking into the art hall. She'd never thought it was needed to come visit here, but, after the whole thing with the Tapestry, curiosity came and bit her hard. The Tapestry wanted to show her things of the future. She'd just wanted to see things of the past. Out of curiosity, she looked at the first statue before her and gasped at what was being shown.

Herself at 3 years old, on a small platform, dead (at least in her mind). Over her was the form of Tsunami, ready to assimilate with her and revive her.

She stepped back, reeling in fear. Why did it show her that?! Of all the things she could have seen, it was that.

"Please, change it! I don't want to see this anymore!" Sasami pleaded, but it seemed like it was stuck at the moment.

Well, if there was anyone that was going to be sympathetic about not being a real someone, it was the girl who had been someone else for two years.

"Wait, what do you mean? Did Stacy give you fake memories too?"

"Beyond that, Kaya...!" Sasami cried out. Yes, Stacy did give her fake memories, but that wasn't the point here. "I'm not the real Sasami. Sasami died seven hundred years ago! I-I'm... I'm nothing more than a vessel...!"

Now Kaya was doing nothing but paying attention, and seeing Sasami this way, brought to tears at the idea of being a thing, gave her resolve.

"Please, explain. There's a lot I want to tell you, but first I want to know why you think this came to pass. Nothing about you ever screamed vessel to me. "

"I... S-Sasami had wandered off during an attack on my homeworld. The place she was at was struck and it caused her to fall. Tsunami saw her and bonded with her. Now, I... I'm just part of Tsunami. A means for allowing her to be here..." Sasami said.

Kaya listened, thinking carefully. "But even if you were part of Tsunami, you are still yourself. If Sasami went down those many years ago, you became her, didn't you? Look at how you have made all of the friends you've had, even a boyfriend! Do you think any of that will change because of memories that were not yours? Whose to say they aren't?"

So many parallels here.
