i think its implied that what you remember as a human of your old life is limited but present. like lots of characters make jokes about you being a baby n stuff but in serious conversations like in one of reths lines you get to confirm if you had siblings or not, and zeki asks you if you were close with your family, and najuma asks if you had similar problems with your parents
so i think you remember the vibes but you dont have any details? which like something something how do you miss someone you've never met animatic starts playing
i can only begin to imagine how much that must suck, knowing you had family, knowing how you felt about them, but not knowing *why,* and trying to apply majiri family customs to your life like, ughghfjfhg
PARTICULARLY feeling that najuma makes me feel extremely paternal. like imagine youre in the middle of helping her out with a bad scraped knee or something and the whole time all you can think is like. did i have a daughter? or maybe a younger sister? god was i a parent??
AND ive noticed a lot of people choosing their shepps based on who reminded them of family members they liked, like a lot of posts of people having ashura be their shepp cause he reminds them of their late dads/uncles, and a couple saying the same about badruu and delila, imagine how much it would hurt to get so attached to this person and not know why but have a faint idea of grief every time you look at them???? ughfhdjdjjsajfjgjgkgkgjggjgjgk
even worse, people no longer remembering their diagnoses, and going through the "am i broken?" thing all over again, I AM UNWELL
