Ami had been born like a human this time (that was also the princess' fault, her wish to have been born on Earth chaining all of them to this life), but she knew what it was to have a past life with strange, unwelcome memories that made no sense and that, frankly, gave her a headache.
It was typical of her that instead of noting that first, she noted Kanda's words. His woman, a lover from a time before she'd even known him. Even she knew she couldn't begrudge him that, but... That woman was also haunting the halls of this place, where she could see him and he could see her!
Just a ghost, he said, dismissing the old feelings for the new. Logic told Ami it should be true: If he wanted to chase a ghost instead of her, the ghost was here to be caught. Instead, he was looking for her, Ami. She remembered him saying that.
Finally, after far too long to sort through these thoughts, and staying far too inscrutable in her expression, she spoke.
"It's the same for me." And as if those words released something holding the rest back, she said more. "I also have a past life, and memories that don't make sense to me. Those memories are the opposite of each other, and can't both be true."
She's had to choose which to believe and always, always the back of her mind wonders if she's chosen right. She doubts choosing the opposite would have erased that worry.
Ami let Kanda keep his tight grip, but her free hand came up to rest lightly on his, as if to ease that tension in his hold. As if to ease that confusion and frustration.
