2 Just Like Me

I'm currently laying in the, what? 8th crib I've ever had? Those guys in the last life didn't really know how to build shit at all. Definitely hit my head a number of times after they broke

Anyways, back on topic. I'm here with my new sister. Never had one before…

She seems to be more aware of her surroundings compared to my observations in #2 and is definitely showing signs of panic and anxiety every now and then

Not that it's not rare for that to happen from time to time with babies her age, for it to happen this much shows signs for a number of things

One - She just has a severe case of anxiety. So much so that even the thought of waking up or opening her eyes sends her into shock

Two - It's just an imbalance of chemicals in her brain that's fucking with her sense of reality or emotion. Even though the chances of that happening to this scale is slim to 0, we are in a different universe and/or dimension so you can't really rule out everything

Three - She could just be seeing things that scare her? I do see a number of toys in here that certainly would give a one year old constant panic attacks. Especially that clown… Actually, the first thing I'm doing after I learn how to walk again is burning that thing to ash

Now the fourth - She could be a reincarnate like me. A bit far fetched but if I can do it three times in a row while keeping my memories? I'm certain it can happen to someone else. It would also explain the panic attacks - assuming one - they know we're they are and they are scared or two - they don't know where they are and are also scared, it would make sense

OK that analogy is a bit redundant but you get what in saying?

Whatever, Hoshi Out

The adults have started teaching us how to read and write. The language was actually quite similar to Japanese. Imagine you take a couple of northern dialects and one or two southern and you kinda just mash em together. One of my hobbies in #1 was to study different language dialects and Asian countries were really up there. I was in the middle of finishing up Ireland in #2 when I was busted

So, needless to say, I had a little head start. It was weird, however, because Sara was easily keeping up with my learning speed without breaking a sweat

It could mean she's just an innate genius or it could push my second and fourth theories from around two years ago

I still don't have enough information though, so I'll have to leave it at that until I have enough information.

In other news, when looking out of the window a few months ago, I could have sworn I saw a couple of people up in the trees wearing some sort of Green vest

No clue if they were just weebs of a higher tier than I, or it could mean something else

I put it aside for now since I don't have enough information for an accurate conclusion

I'm getting closer

Sara is definitely some sort of genius of reincarnate. The girl learned how to read fluently in nearly a month and speak in two. She and I can hold conversations in fluent Japanese easily and it kind of scares me how much she knows. When I confront her about her prior knowledge, she just says she learned it from a book

Yeah, I'm leaning more towards typical fanfiction reincarnate as well

More on me, I keep seeing those tree dudes more often now

Almost three times a week, at least one of them is up there with a mask. Sometimes there's up to 6 that I can see

I get the feeling they know I'm watching though. Don't know why and I certainly don't want to before I get some sort of gun or knife

I've actually seen one of them jump up the whole fucking tree once and walk straight back down the side after one of the others called him back

Freakiest shit I've seen so far in this life but it also narrows down a lot of places where I could be. One of them stands out from the others, of course, but I still need more information

I wish this place had some sort of computer…

I'm sure of it now. She's like me

"You're like me…"

Oh, probably should have waited until we were done with work to say that

Her face went white as a ghost as her whole body froze up

Looking up, I could see the forced smile on her face

"What do you mean bro? Of course you're like me! We're siblings!"

Yeah, I'm certain now. She's sweating and looking all around the area

"Were both reincarnated people…"

And~ checkmate~

She dropped the bucket of seeds she was carrying and slumped to the ground

"How did you know?"

Really?

"You're really asking that question?"

Oh God damn that glare. The hell did I do woman?

"Answer the question…"

I debated whether or not to play with her but decided not to. It's not everyday you meet a fellow member of the club

"You really need to learn how to tone your learning speed down. I mean, really? A whole language like this within a few months? Unless you were a synthetic human, I doubt anyone could do it that fast…"

Sara actually looked a little embarrassed to hear that

"Damn.. I was hoping that nobody would end up ever knowing but I guess it's not that bad if it's you."

I nodded sagely

"It's best if you never tell anyone. I let that our before the end of my second life and I almost didn't get to move on because of it"

Her head whipped around so fast I thought she would get whiplash

"What do you mean second life?"

Oh, it's her first time?

"Yeah, this is my third time being reborn. Fourth life total"

The fuck? Why are there black lines and a cloud above her? Why is the cloud raining? There is so much wrong with this scene…

"I'm going to be stuck like he his forever…"

Oh, she's crying, shit

Uhh, what to do when a girl is crying… Walk away? No that wouldn't work one bit.. Erm.. Ah! Hug!

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, uh.. Hugging you?"

"Why are you doing that?"

"Because you were crying?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Oh shit what is she doing.. please don't hurt meeee-

"Thanks.."

Wait.. is this a hug? It's so warm and comforting.. a big warm blanket

To think I never noticed this before

And just as quickly as it came, it went with her sitting back down on the dirt

"So uh, where do you think we are?"

A valid question

"Well, I have a few ideas but you're going to have to answer a question of mine first"

She looks confused and a bit wary

"Ok? I'll try my best to answer it"

I close my eyes and take a deep breath before making eye contact

"What do you know of Naruto?"
