[He leans back a bit at that, offering another of those dismissive little handwaves.]
It's less that I don't believe it, and more that I don't see any point in caring. Say that these memories are mine, from some sort of past life - might I ask what I'm supposed to do about any of it?
According to everyone here, the world we're discussing is long-dead. That's hardly something I see a need to care about. My world is here.
Oh yes, of course! As you noted earlier, quite a few people have been regaining terrible memories! It's a bit harder to dismiss them as nightmares, I'd imagine!
Oh, I'd imagine - and I'm hardly saying that they should just dismiss them. If they're our memories, then so be it.
I just don't understand the people seeming to have some sort of identity crisis over it. I can't imagine having a sense of self that fragile - I know exactly who I am, and I don't see why some memories of a destroyed past need to change that.
[And as far as he's concerned, that does seem to be the end of it; he'll stand up then, seeming no worse for wear, really.]
Don't get me wrong, Jaeger, I do appreciate that you've let me know about all that in the first place. Unfortunately, I like my life exactly as it is, and I see no reason to change that.

We're from the same world, though. Anything you've recalled is relevant to my interests!

Ja, of course, that's fair! There are a few of us that do find these memories interesting at least, though!
no subject
Maybe I'll concede that point, but people seem to get terribly worked up over this entire thing.

no subject
I wouldn't know! I certainly haven't remembered anything worth having a crisis over!
[He's not going to get anything from this, is he?]
Well, I thought it was worth sharing a few things about our shared world, but it's fine if you're not interested!
no subject
It isn't as though I've remembered anything that's worth sharing, anyway.

[Well, that was a disaster.]
