(Minimally-edited memory / noemata dump)

So we know that I’m specifically from the AU some others in our system came up with. But maybe it’s not really them coming up with that AU. It was me unknowingly trying to remember my previous life before I realized that I’m a separate Haruki.

The details I can remember are fuzzy at best, all I know is that I’m in a similar situation as the protagonist of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers. I’m from a dark future parallel timeline.

I’m wondering, in the actual Halo Around live's plot there are possible hints of my world ceasing to exist once the calamity stops and the main Shinymas timeline is saved. Is that the case on my end too? However, instead of disappearing completely, I ended up here. I might need to recheck these later.

If the 7 chosen idols of Project Refraction are resistance leaders, the lineup is very different from what I remember. My version has me, Kogane👑, Yuika🌧️, Luca, Madoka, and Nichika. I don’t remember if there’s a 7th member. As we know, these people are also here with us and are also very important to our system. I don’t remember exactly why this is the case. It could be that these specific timelines just happen to be the ones that collided. Either way, I don’t think of my past as “someone’s made-up story”, but it bothers me that the details of my memories are this hazy and has the feel of "poor worldbuilding". But that's also to be expected of these memories. I'm trying not to worry about my past being "full of plot holes" and stuff like that too much.

The world has never been the same again since Apotheosis happened. It does bless a lot of us with superhuman abilities, but at the same time the world also fell into ruin, plunged into an eternal night. Stars are still visible in the sky, but sunrise never comes. The night sky was admittedly pretty, with its stars and occasional aurora, but everything else was in ruin. Rain falls very often. Nobody knows how much time has passed, it's as if time has stood still.

I was granted the ability to near-effortlessly craft gears (if I don’t get them through other means such as stealing from the enemy forces). This was how I got things like my speech collar. My other gears are laser guns, both regular ones and floating, thought-controlled laser mini-turrets. I also have thought-controlled floating bombs, energy shields, and artificial wings that functions similarly to a jetpack, allowing me to levitate.

What caused me to lose my ability to speak? Nobody knows for sure, but the collar allows me to communicate with others regardless.

Other than the heightened intelligence and the personality change that came with it, every special ability I have are from advanced technology which might not be possible in this timeline or the main Shinymas timeline, as these would fall under “sci-fi” territory.
