[The first thing Claire did once he found the network was read just about everything he could find. By the time he finally decides to post something, he's looking rather excited about the whole thing.]

This is... fate, right? Me becoming a part of this network, that is. It has to be fate.

I mean, I was about to curse my luck a little while ago, with all these amazing stories I've been hearing about Locke City while I'm stuck over here in Vegas. It's not like I can just pack my bags and move. But now, I think I get it. All along, me living here, working here, maybe even being born here, was meant to be! Like it was written in the stars.

[He pauses dramatically for a moment... then laughs a little awkwardly.]

...Or something like that, anyway! Ha, what am I doing, giving such an outlandish first impression when all I wanted was to introduce myself? But then I am sort of an outlandish person, so maybe it's just me being honest? Heh, I guess that works.

Oh, right, about the whole other self thing... I think this other me may have been a conductor, so if anyone's got lots of memories of being on a train, I'd like to hear about it.

Was I really that scary? It's really hard to imagine me terrifying anyone, honestly!

[So what if he remembers straight up murdering a dude and walking around covered in blood? Nothing scary there, no sir.]

So who're Isaac and Miria? More people the other you knew?

It was awful. And Isaac and Miria are people in my memories, but I know them now. I actually live with them, so they're really great people.

Well, even though he's not technically me, I'm sorry for scaring you. I'll try to be very non-threatening, if that helps!

I'll have to meet them as well then! Maybe that'll spark some more memories.

I'll introduce you sometime. I try not to bug them or anything and they're really busy so if you don't get to meet them soon, just ask and I'll let them know. They'll probably want to meet you too since we're from the same place and everything sorta? [It's kind of rambling, but mostly spoken really fast.]

I'll keep that in mind if I can't speak to them myself first. Thanks!

I'm glad I actually found someone who remembers some of the same stuff. I mean, if I was stuck with this alone, it'd take way longer to figure everything out, so this'll be a big help.

I don't know if you really wanna remember this stuff. I mean I remember some good things like--like I remember a lot of friends, and I remember the Dians, but--

I remember doing a lot of awful stuff, too...

I guess I'm just too curious for my own good. I really wanna know all I can about this other me, even if I might not like what I find out. But it'll be fine, I'm sure of it.

Really? Well, it can't have been that bad, right?

It can be really really bad. Isaac's really upset because of some of them and I--

[THERE ARE TEARS IN HIS EYES]

And I remember that I killed people. A lot of people!

Oh.

[Welp.]

Maybe you had a good reason for it?

It was for revenge. [He drops his head and bites back a sob.]

[...Weeeeelp.]

...Well, uh. If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure I actually did that too?

Why would that make me feel better, that's terrible?!

Well... It's good to know you're not the only one, right? And anyway, it's not like it was really us or anything, so there's nothing to worry about!

There's a lot to worry about what if we end up like the people we're remembering!

Can you echo back a personality though?

I don't know a friend said he was changing because of this stuff though.

But you don't know for sure that it'll necessarily happen, right? Anyway, you're still you, right? If you keep that in mind, you'll be fine!

[Which is very easy for him to say right now. Just wait until you've been down the echo train yourself, Claire.]

So just don't lose sight of yourself.
