[what
no really, what
It's not as if Ren has never gotten a wrong number text before, but with Retrospec's latest nonsense, he's got a bad feeling about this. It feels almost ominous, like the build up to something far more aggravating.
He's probably just being paranoid, but that's not new.]
if that's all you have to worry about right now, you must lead a charmed life.
[Deadpan sarcasm is his main coping mechanism.]

[Thaaaaaaaat's not the response he was expecting. It takes him a second to check the number.]
Sorry wrong number
[A pause. And then:]
Are you ok?

i'm alive, presumably. that tends to be better than the alternative.
[He thought he was done with existential crises, but nope.
Perhaps it's because it's a complete stranger that he doesn't feel the usual need to keep everything to himself and simply cut off the conversation. Apparently venting on Retrospec gets him yelled at by annoyances he doesn't want in his life.]

That doesnt sound ok

i had no idea.

i'll spare you the details.

no.
strawberry flavoring is terrible.

[Another unexpected text, huh. This one at least gives him an indication as to who this might be from, however, and if it is her, he can't help but be a bit concerned. Not that they're close or anything, but she's another person who's gone through some terrible Retrospec nonsense, so he can spare some sympathy.]
what for?
what for?
[Well this is a conundrum. He should probably tell her she's not speaking with who she thinks, but he knows how he'd feel if he sent a personal text to a stranger...
Maybe he'll just pretend for a little bit until she either realizes it or feels better.]
it's not like you meant to, right? it's fine.

that's not the same as wanting to hurt me, and it wasn't worse.
were you seeing something? like a vision?

i get it. i've had a few nightmares myself.
[That part is actually true, as personal as that fact is. Besides, especially now that he knows the gist of what happened, letting her feel terrible for whatever harm she did just doesn't sit right.]
don't blame yourself. it's like ptsd times ten. i'm sure a lot of the rest of us are going through the same kind of thing.

[Well, at least now he has an idea of who to message, should he feel this needs to get forwarded...]
it doesn't mean someone else wouldn't have. it was just the wrong place and the wrong time.
really, it's not that big a deal. and obviously you didn't succeed, so it's okay. it's not great, but it's fine.
[He refrains from mentioning the whole... one guy coming back from death thing, since that may be a little too morbid for the time being.]

i know you don't want to hurt anyone. but that's just what happens sometimes, especially with all of the things we're getting from retrospec, and you can make up for it when it happens.
first, don't take it so hard. then try to work through it so it doesn't keep happening, and get whatever help you need. be patient with yourself about it, as well.
but buying lunch would probably be a good start.
[Attempt to be lighthearted is go...?! Besides, even Ren would forgive many a misdeed for some free food.]

[Well, she realized who she was talking to—but he also actually seems to have helped, so he'll call that a success. He sighs to himself.]
you're welcome. yours isn't the first misplaced text i've gotten this month, so it's likely retrospec again.
now that i've been found out, is there anything i can actually do for you as myself? perhaps get you some coffee or tea.
