[Jamie’s getting older now, because his middle school is in a safe part of town and because his mother’s apartment isn’t either he’s welcome to ride public from school to home on certain days. Those days being the ones his mother had to work late…

Ever since it happened all he could think about is the echo, no matter how badly Jamie tired to push it out of his mind the memory just wouldn’t leave. It terrified him, what if this time he doesn’t have his mom to rescue him? There’s also the whole thing around these numbers.. and the tiny memories he’s been reliving almost through eyes that feel so much like his own.. The world he sees isn’t the same, however, and neither is the person, there are no glass frames or breathing issues behind those similar eyes.

A promise was also unforgotten, one concerning this number he couldn’t forget… to write it down on a piece of paper to prove some kind of point.. would it? What would it prove..? Jamie only has homework with him paper wise, and a notebook for humanities. However, he always has his 3DS on him. It seems stupid at the time and it’ll seem stupid tomorrow but Jamie writes his number over the touchpad of his three dimensional duel screen in the application swapnote.. the worlds read--

”How do you stop having echos?”

--As if that will make them stop or as if anyone can hear him from his quiet set on the bus. What he doesn’t know is that others can hear him and soon replies will be coming in through his 3DS screen. You never know in Locke City if the person next to you is part of the network either. Hey, he added a bunch of people on his game, is ‘Your Friend Jamie Near By!’?]

Oh. You were riding on me, then?

[ Ryan remembers Bertholdt and Eren riding on his shoulders, but not Jamie... ]

That's right, though. There's different kinds. We're not all the mindless monsters that... ate people.

I guess.. so you know you're one of those things..? [They.. eat people? Suddenly his bus ride home isn't so cosy, because that statement is right which is what connects why they seemed so terrifying in his memories..]

Yeah... I know.

But I'm not like those bad ones. And that doesn't change who I am...

Heh, not that saying it is very reassuring, huh?

[ He knows exactly how bad it sounds... ]

I don't really remember anything else so I can't tell you for sure but.. I don't think you are either. [After all, he was standing on Ryan. Jamie doesn't remember being killed, and yet on the other hand he does remember feeling the fear of death.

For now the thought of what to think of the memory and Ryan is up in the air.] Do you regret your echos..?

Thanks. That means a lot.

And... well, no. I don't. They've brought me closer to a lot of important people. So I might wish they weren't like this, but... I don't regret remembering what I have.

[ For now... ]

Do you think they'd make me any friends?
[Jamie sorta lacks the confidence to talk with real people or classmates. You could say he's lacking someone to give him any, during times like these it would be nice to have someone to talk to.. The feeling of being bullied is so much more familiar than understandance. ~~even if most of his bullying is promoted by his own mouth~~]

I can almost say so for sure. Everyone here is in the same boat one way or another. That brings people together.

[ God Jamie you're such a cutie, let Ryan protect you. ]

.. than maybe I'll try.
[Friends sound nice, okay? Doubly with all these weird memories..
He could use a Mama Brawn.]

That's good. :^)

Sometimes it's better to embrace it than try to stop what you can't help... This might be too much to handle alone, but with some friends, things can get better.
