They merely looked similar from behind. Ever since she began remembering, she was sure that the figure in her dreams was not James. After all, she had lived for many Epochs. Meanwhile, James had not even been born yet. So, how could it possibly be him?
However, James said with a serious look on his face, “We have. We have met before.”
Thea looked at him and asked, “How did we meet?”
James smiled and said, “If I say I met a person who came into being from the threads of your soul and that I came from the distant future in search of you, would you believe me?”
James asked jokingly. Since he was unsure whether Thea would accept such a possibility, he tried testing her reaction first.
Thea shook her head in disbelief. If James said that he had met a person that came into being from a thread of her soul, who was the figure in the deepest parts of her memory? Even so, she was intrigued. She asked, “What do you mean?”
James said, “A thread of your soul reincarnated into a person who’s also called Thea Callahan.novelebook.com I guess that person is also you.”
He scratched his head. Strictly speaking, the Thea from the future was the same person as the Thea before him. The two shared a similar soul. However, are they really one and the same? James could not figure this out. If they are, one could argue that they have no common memory. If they aren’t, one could argue that they share the same soul.
Confounded, James smiled and said, “Hilarious, no? I came from the future just to find the original form of a thread of a soul.”
Thea, however, ruminated over James’ words. Could it be that a thread of her soul would experience reincarnation in the future? Would the reincarnated her be related to James in some way? If what James said was true, was he related to the figure in the deepest parts of her memory? This was simply too complicated. Even Thea who had mastered various Paths could not understand this.
“Why would a thread of my soul undergo reincarnation?” she asked.
