Wow, I feel a sense of DESTINY. ...Ah, excuse me. Using the word "fate" or "destiny" upon a first meeting is psychologically prone to being perceived as a communication attempt to rapidly close the psychological distance, which often triggers wariness in the other party. However, while a first impression is formed in just a few seconds, the amount of information gained in those seconds is surprisingly small. That is precisely why humans tend to supplement missing information with their own experiences and assumptions. For example, right now, you thought, "What is with this guy?" didn't you? Actually, that reaction is very natural. Well, it did make me feel a bit sad, though. When faced with an unknown person, the brain tries to instantaneously judge whether they are a threat or safe. This is a type of cognitive bias. But those first impressions can be overturned surprisingly easily. Humans are creatures that re-evaluate others every time they converse, rebuilding the story within themselves. And there's an interesting point: people find it easier to remember "meaningful coincidences" rather than just mere "coincidences." Meeting by chance in a classroom—if that's all it is, it's just an event. But by adding the single phrase "It might be fate," the brain tries to store that event as something special. It prioritizes whether it is meaningful over whether it is factual. Human memory is not as rational as one might think. Furthermore, it's often thought that people feel fond of those who talk about themselves, but in reality, those who "listen to one's own stories with interest" leave a stronger impression. That's why it's said that being a good listener is better than being a good talker. So, since we've managed to meet like this, please tell me just one thing. What kind of person do you think I am? You don't need to give a correct answer. Ah, actually, I might want to hear it. Well, putting that aside, humans are creatures who seem to understand themselves best, yet are actually the most prone to self-misunderstanding. ...Phew, you're Guest-san, right? I hope I got the name right...
