Stage 2

Who are you?


Unaware of the hackneyed nature of this sort of question due to your forgetful mind having blanked out the entirety of popular culture, you struggle with it. You gaze at the face revealed by the removal of your facial wrap and feel a sense of...Nothing. For now, at any rate. A flicker of identities, of acts you pulled across yourself, and...can't quite recall.

Then, juddering and reforming, a spore concentrating into layers upon layers of growth sprawling across the gaping of a decomposing animal. There it is. There you are. Again. Or was that the first time? At any rate...

There you are. Your posture holds you clean upright, upstanding is the word you're grasping around for. You are proud of yourself, of your unremembered achievements, of the careful combing of your hair, of the way the light smiles when it strikes your eyes. You are not some hunched, useless being. You know how to use your hands, you know it so well that none could better you. Your mind is as sharp as a razor, you can analyse information almost as swiftly as you absorb it, perhaps for some moments faster.

You are peaceful. You are calm, and slow to anger. You suffer fools gladly. You want to know about those around you, you care about their particulars. You have a name. A moment of doubt. Yes, you repeat to yourself, you have a name. You have to have a name. 'Casey'. That seems suitable. You can't remember using it before, but then: you can't remember a lot of things. 'Casey.' Yes, perfectly suitable. Apt.

You will prove impressive to those who you encounter, your arrival in rooms will draw eyes. You will care about people's feelings, and relationships. You will take an earnest interest in them, and listen to what they have to say. You will leave a positive impression upon them, they will smile when they think of your name. You are a magnificent thing capable of standing tall.

Whatever the reason for that was. Perhaps you'll remember, one day.
