[Seeing those words spark familiarity in his mind, but it feels clouded by darkness. Maybe if he hears it said instead--but no. Sorey can already tell that, for some reason, the last thing he wants to do is prolong any of Mikleo's pain. If that's what the young man is feeling right now.
The brunet doesn't want to leave it there, though. Not on that note. He has to read and reread what he's written to make sure the words are right before he hits send.]
My first memory was triggered when I fell off the side of a castle. I remembered something similar happening to me in my past life, and I wasn't alone when I fell. A boy my age was with me. He used his magic to save our lives, and then he teased me a bit. When I woke up, I was in the hospital with multiple broken bones. I still have metal in my left arm, though, so sometimes it hurts when the weather gets cold or rainy.
I had to go to therapy. Not just physical therapy, either. Ever since that day, I was so terrified of heights that I would sometimes have panic attacks if there were too many stairs I had to climb. It was hard, working through all of that, but then I remembered the boy with water magic. I thought to myself, "Slade, you need to keep trying. I bet he never gave up on you back then, and if he's real, then you need to keep going so you can thank him for everything he did for you back then."
I kept thinking that at University, too, when my exams were really getting to me. I had to hope that we'd find each other somehow. Even if we didn't have the same friendship as back then, I still wanted to make sure I met him at least once.
So, thank you, Mikleo. Thank you for saving me back then. You were really, really important to my past life, I remember that, and so I want to thank you for everything you've done for me back then. Maybe we're not who we were, and that's okay with me. I've accepted that even if we met again, it'd be different, but I'd still like to get to know who you are now and see if we can't at least be friends again.
