"i don't think we've ever met each other?"

"that is not true."

"really?"

"yes"

"your face seems like something i wouldn't forget."

"it shouldn't be."

"so how come i don't remember you?"

"you probably just forgot."

"but your face isn't something i would forget. you seem important."

"i'm not."

"you may say that."

"i do say that, i'm not important."

"oh, but you look it. you look serious, there's purpose in your visit, isn't there?"

"there is no purpose."

"then why have you come to see me?"

"there is no reason."

"there is always a reason."

"but not always a reason you would understand."

"i don't get it."

"of course you don't. that's why i'm not going to explain it."

"but i'm curious. who even are you?"

"i'm no one special."

"but you seem it."

"i'm really not."

"please just tell me. even if you aren't special."

"you'll forget it."

"i promise i won't."

"you will."

"what is it you wanted from me anyway?"

"I... don't really know."

"so you just came to say hello?"

"no"

"then why?"

"i can't explain it"

"well try."

"i guess, i just wanted to see you again."

"but we've never met."

"yeah i guess you're right."

"but you insist we have. i'm confused."

"don't worry about it. i'll leave."

"no, please. i do enjoy your company, it's a nice change."

"i'm not talking to anyone though."

"what do you call this then?"

"i don't know. just... i don't know."

"i beg you, just tell me who you are."

"you don't understand why i shouldn't"

"please tell me"

"it's for my own sake"

"that's ok!"

"it's not."

"why?"

"because i want you to know it"

"then tell me"

"that's the problem,"

"what is?"

"you'll just forget it again."

"but we've never met."

"but...we have..."

"maybe, i should just take your word on this one then?"

"you can. you have no reason to believe me."

"I... guess."

"i'm going to leave now, it's.... been, nice, talking to you."

"oh, the same goes here."
