I know who you are, but I don't know who you are. [ She falters with a groan, pressing her lips together as her brow creases. ] You know how some people think you get to be reborn over and over when you die, and live a lot of lives?

[ Her chest hurts, but vows don't expire if you're the only one who remembers taking them. ] People come back and don't remember being here before, or, from a different place in their lives from what the people in their world remember. I've been here over a year, but Zoro, my crewmate, thinks he saw me less than that months ago aboard the ship.
[ Falling quiet with a shrug, she meets Rinne's eye with a frown. ] So, like I said, I know who you are, but I don't know who you are.
