( It's been an adjustment, that's for sure. The accident -- alleged accident, maybe, but she can't see any reason why they'd need to lie -- must have really done a number on her. It feels like she's relearning everything about her life, and it's coming back in slow chunks. It's not settling right though, it feels off and wrong and new. She remembers eating at the local diner every week, but the flavours of foods are completely unfamiliar to her. She remembers having worked at the grocery store for years now, but she can't remember how to do the buttons on her uniform.
She remembers dropping out of school, but she doesn't immediately recognise her principal.
Her mind is wandering as she walks down the street ("--May the 4th? Why does that sound familiar? That's so weird--") and it takes a couple of solid glances that are closer to stares at Leia before the face jogs something close to a memory. She knows this woman.
Probably knows this woman.
Something like that, anyway, so after this rude gawping she raises a hand to wave, lips twisting into a hesitant approximation of a friendly smile. )
Hey.
( If she's honest, she's totally hoping that this other woman will remember their connection so that Rey doesn't have to admit that she's coming up completely blank. )
4th purely so i can make this dumb as heck joke i'm sorry
