Reincarnating as a demon in sousou no frieren

Time kept passing, and with it, the bumps on my head kept growing. Not only that, but what looked like bony structures—something like horns—began to emerge. Maybe in the future, this would be necessary for something; I didn't know, maybe a fashion of the future, I guess. I wasn't too worried, though, as the questions kept piling up while the answers remained scarce. 

After much deliberation with myself, I made an important decision: I needed a new name. Something to represent this second chance I had been given, something to remind me that I wasn't the same person as before. The disconnection with my emotions had intensified, and although I knew I was still who I was, that distance between what I felt and who I was made me feel strange. That's when I chose a new name: **Erinnern**.

"Erinnern" means "memory" in German. At this moment, it felt like the best choice because it was nothing more than memories anymore, but those memories were leading me toward a better future. Also, I chose German because, to me, it sounded more… stately. Not that I spoke that language much, but of all the languages I knew, it was the one that appealed to me the most, along with English. Maybe it wasn't the deepest reason for choosing it, but there was something about it that I liked, something that resonated with me. 

So, from now on, I wouldn't be who I was before. I would be **Erinnern**. A name that represented my new existence, one full of memories and possibilities.
