no apologies needed, I'M SO MUCH LATER

[eyeforaneye]

[ The text comes early the next morning, sometime around seven a.m. ]

I need to speak with you. Are you awake?

[darkcharge]

Would I be answering if I wasn’t?

[eyeforaneye]

And are you unharmed?

[darkcharge]

Why are you asking?

[eyeforaneye]

Because I was given reason to believe otherwise. Answer me.

[darkcharge]

I'm perfectly fine. No injuries, mentally or physically. Why.

[eyeforaneye]

I had a vision.

[ Because calling it just a dream... feels inadequate. ] And I suspect that it was about you.

[darkcharge]

A vision?

That's rather ironic, considering I had something like that too.

[eyeforaneye]

Describe it, then.

[darkcharge]

That I was seeing things through someone else's eyes? Feeling what they feel? Sensing their thoughts?

[eyeforaneye]

You're describing sensations, not events. What happened?

[darkcharge]

A scene that I don't really understand. Things like siblings and family, that is.

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... ]

Do you believe that they could've been mine? Did we look similar?

[darkcharge]

I'd like to know how THAT happened. I'm not connected to you in any way so why would I have a dream about YOUR family?

Because yes, you do look like your brother Somewhat..

[eyeforaneye]

[ Right. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Stay calm about this. ]

We've encountered each other once, so either it's a randomized event or it was from something that occurred during that time. Has anything like this happened to you before?

[darkcharge]

It hasn't. Not with anyone I'm not connected to, that is.

[eyeforaneye]

You mean not with anyone with which you haven't exchanged magic.

[darkcharge]

No. I mean that quite literally. There's never been magic involved prior to coming here.

[eyeforaneye]

Then you've experienced this in your world as well?

[darkcharge]

I am half of a whole. Naturally the connection I share to my missing piece means that I, from time to time, experience what he is.

[eyeforaneye]

You say that as if I should understand it without more context.

What do you mean, half of a whole?

[darkcharge]

I am a piece of a person's very essence, ripped out of their heart. Their soul, some would call it.

Again. A literal half of a whole person.

[eyeforaneye]

[ A piece of a person's essence. It's such a huge claim and yet he doesn't disbelieve him, not when he's seen souls and bodies torn and reformed in the past. Just never like this. ]

So you've shared memories with this other person, but no one else.

[darkcharge]

Small glimpses. Mostly emotions. Nothing quite to this extent, I admit. It never felt like I was living it.

[eyeforaneye]

And have you heard of it occurring between any other Mirrorbound brought here?
