I hope it continues to reoccur for awhile yet, then...
It's no problem. Talking about it's reminded me, but I'm probably getting fairly rusty with my own Japanese too...haven't needed to use much of it in awhile. This seems like as good a reason as any to knock the dust off, if it's going to be beneficial to somebody else at the same time too.
But hold on, it was? You were speaking Japanese? [WAIT...wait.....actually, why had he never thought about it before? Now that it's being mentioned...] That's...hm. That's interesting. Now you've brought it up, I suppose I was too...
It's an odd disparity if your other self is fluent and you're not at the moment, but in reality I guess that's just as much of a possibility as anything else. ...That would seem to imply a different kind of upbringing too, though. At the very least...
Can't get much more indisputable than that. I think...
[It's odd, the way the knowledge kind of itches at the back of his head. It doesn't belong there, but it's such a strong part of the background--of those memories--that it just sort of unearths itself, when he actually stops to think about it? Everybody was speaking Japanese in those memories...
Like back home, huh. But it'd seemed so utterly normal he hadn't paid it a second thought.
...Weird. He finds he doesn't really like to dwell on it, so he doesn't.]
We were probably all in Japan, for that matter. If we were all in the same country for the majority of these memories, anyhow... [but wait] ...Tatami mats, though? For a dorm room? That's pretty unconventional.
[Actually, now that he thinks about it... How is he understanding so much of that Japanese, when it's not the kind of thing that he talks about with his mom?
He'd probably get a headache if he thought about it for too long, so he'll go ahead and just. not do that.]
I remodeled it. I think it was carpet or hardwood before. I couldn't relax without the tatami mats. Maybe my double's house was the traditional Japanese type?
[NOT THINKING ABOUT IT TENDS TO HELP A LOT, APPARENTLY....]
You...couldn't relax. [memory-shouto what does that even mean, oh my god] That might be a reasonable explanation, sure...though that's very traditional indeed, if that's the case.
And you remodeled it off the cuff, you're saying? Guess that's something they must allow over there... [Speaking of not thinking about things: the more he thinks about all of what he's reading here, the more he's...starting to wonder now, great....] Dorms for what, for that matter? You'd still be in high school, if you're the same age then as you are now. Is it some kind of boarding school, then?
[Huh....Aizawa frowns at this last sentence even as he's typing it out. There's something different nagging at the back of his head now.]
That doesn't seem No, that seems only half right... [aizawa what]

Thank you, Mr. Aizawa. I'll take you up on that.

I'm pretty sure it's what my alternate reality version of myself was speaking. But it just seems useful to know.

I think I grew up in Japan. My dorm room had tatami mats instead of carpet or hardwood flooring.

I thought they were school dorms. Since Izuku was there and there were a bunch of the other classmates around.
Do you remember something?
