It's probably only fair after all this time since I know a lot about you. [and they have time to kill baking cookies.]
I think I've maybe told you enough before that you know it's always just been me and my mom. But when I was 12, my mom met Uncle. I didn't really know it at the time, but she found him hiding one day after a hit went wrong and he'd been wounded. And then he started spending time with us and fell in love with my mom. I kept waiting for the day they announced they were gonna get married, but that never happened.
...I learned this way later, but at the time I thought he just disappeared all together. He didn't even say goodbye. But I kept working to try and become an idol hoping that if I couldn't go to him, he could come back to us. But what I didn't know at the time was that he had tried to quit working for the yakuza as an assassin to be a part of our family. The mob boss at the time? He wanted Uncle to kill us. To kill me. And Uncle wasn't going to do it. So he came up with this plan, but even more things went wrong.
There's...this thing. Where I'm from. It's called psyncing. It's meant to allow someone to connect with another person to see inside their dreams, but it can also allow a person to swap bodies. So...that's what Uncle did. He worked with the police to bring the mob boss in so that they could psync and switch bodies. Uncle was going to pose as the mob boss to tell the gang not to kill me and Mom.
But the mob boss was in Uncle's body and he ran away before the police could stop him. He went to our house, and Uncle followed him in the mob boss's body. My mom...nearly died that night. Uncle tried to kill the man in his body, but he shot my mom instead and he was arrested.
But then he was told by the lady he was working with that he should go and talk to the son of this politician. It turns out the mob boss and this other guy were involved in a series of murders. Uncle was going to go get more information, but the son knew he was someone else in his partner's body! He forced Uncle to come with him and perform another psync to swap, but something went wrong. They swapped bodies, but their memories didn't transfer right...Uncle was in a new body, but he didn't remember anything at all.
That was six years ago. The only reason I even found him was by total coincidence, and I didn't even know it at the time. I just thought he was a detective looking into a new series of murders.
