Hi there.
John Smith on air right now!
Huh, don't mind me, just talking to myself.
Well, it's not like I have someone else to talk to. I mean, even if I can talk, I'm still a one month old baby after all.
And, well. I WAS John Smith! John Smith died in a car accident, and reincarnated in this body!
Well, my name now is…
…
…
Ugh! I can't say it! It's so humiliating! But I better get over it sooner or later, 'cause this name will be mine untill I pass away. Again.
Soooo. My new name is... Abigaelle Lovecraft Redtear.
Yeah.
Right.
Abigaelle.
I'm a girl.
I was so shocked when I understood that fact! I mean, at first, I thought Abigaelle was my mother's name. But no, I soon noticed that my father called her Lucrezia, and not Abigaelle.
So I thought “Maybe I have a sister? So lucky!”
But no, no sister for the moment.
So who is she? Why does this name keeps popping up? Well, I understood the first time I had to go to the loo while being conscious.
What do I mean by being conscious? Well, it seems that I can't stay awake very long. But it looks like that I act like a baby while I'm not conscious. Must be because of natural instincts or something.
But well, after one week or two, I had to “go to the toilet” while being awake. I know, babies this young can't go to the toilet. But please, just… let it pass for today, pretty please?
So, where was I? Oh yes! When my mum came to change my diaper, I noticed it!
There's something missing! Totally missing! Something that should be there, that have been there for twenty two years!
I cried a bit that day.
I mean, I really thought I had been reincarnated as a boy.
And then I understood. I was none other than that mysterious Abigaelle.
By the way, I'm not 100% sure, but it seems my father's name is Lucius.
I say I'm not sure, because he's not here very often when I'm awake. But from what I hear, it seems that he looks after me a lot when I sleep.
What a doting father! I already like him!
I know now that you won't eat me father! Sorry for thinking that the first time I saw you!
Ha! I forgot to say that I've noticed something strange! I still haven't seen myself in a mirror, but my hair seems to be black, and not silvery like my parents. They do find this strange too apparently.
I wondered if I had escaped the fate of being an albinos, but it doesn't seem so, because I still have snow-coloured skin. And my mother don't stop praising my beautiful crimson-coloured eyes.
Seems like I'm truly albino then.
And, as an additional proof, we mainly live during the night, while sleeping during the day. I mean, you know, albinos people easily get burned by the sun. I've seen several documentaries about albinos people who became nocturnal to avoid contact with sunlight.
Because albinos haven't any melanin.
Skin cancers aren't a pretty sight, I've seen some picture in a book back when I was a guy, so I can assure you.
Ugh. “Back when I was a guy”. I already hate this sentence!
But I noticed that father seems to work during daytime sometime! I think they're hiding it from me though, because they always put me to bed before he goes out. Well maybe he don't want his daughter(ugh!) to know that he is burning his skin under the sun for her sake? Or is it because they're afraid that I'll try to follow him? Well, I hope he is protecting himself correctly.

But, I guess you can still say that I'm lucky, because, even though I'm albinos, I haven't a bad eyesight. Well, it's quite the opposite if you ask me! Ufufu, I've got Eagle Eyes!
But well, enough with my eyesight! Let's talk about the other stuff!
Like, I already learned their language! Isn't it amazing? Maybe it's due to the fact that I've got a baby brain: it's said to be like a sponge!
But, I may say that I had an advantage: it's basically Old French! Like they spoke in the 16th century.
Well, not exactly though! It's French, but it's been mixed with English, and it has some words from Japanese too! Such a strange language. But well, I guess it helped me a lot learning it, since I already knew how to speak both french and english! I'm intermediate level now I think: I can speak fluently, but I don't know much of the more complex words.
I also have a hard time with the japanese words and the honorifics system, but it will come with practice.
But even though I already know how to talk, I'm not using it.
Why?
What would you do if you had a one month old baby starting to talk, asking you various things about the world?
Exactly.
You'd freak out.
So I'm progressing slowly. I started to call them okā-san(mum) and otō-san(dad), but since the “s” sound is a bit difficult to produce, the “san” part turns into “chan”.
They were so happy that they started crying. And it seems that they find this “chan” very cute. Ufufu, I've got a new weapon now!
So yeah, I'm gonna take it slowly but surely! I've got a plan prepared!
I'll start to crawl at 2 month old, even though I can already walk a bit!
I'll start to seriously talk at 3, and at the same time, I'll start to walk.
Once I reach 4 month, I'll walk normally, and one month later, I'll finish with talking
That's still way too fast compared to a normal child, but I won't be able to live like that longer than five month.
Oh, and I'll have to investigate about this other girl who's taking care of me from time to time too!
Is she a nurse? It looks like she is at least.
So yeah, I planned my 4 next month! I can take it easy then! After that, I'll be able to learn more about this strange place where I was born!
Well, I feel kind of sleepy now, so: Oyasumi! (good night)
