i'm sorry but the flashback was SO LONG i can't don't get me wrong, i think brian is lovely and all, but i'm already way too attached to ian to sit through like 40 chapters of a backstory of brian and dragon's love story (that FEELS like a different person even though i know it isn't).
also-- what are the limits to reincarnation and memories? what constitutes a "different" person? everyone's a different person than they were a day ago due to different memories. even if ian somehow gets the memories of brian back, he won't be brian, because he lived a life as ian and still holds those memories. how much of him will be brian and how much of him will be ian? what part of the soul does the ml/other dragon guy love?
