It is, indeed a Pockets thing, but it is also that we may be part of the same set or group. There is a philosophical concept that deals with the idea of splinter souls, which means that a Soul... or Universal Necessity... may splinter into many individual parts, and thereby increase the ability to do whatever job is required of it during this particular life cycle. You might be recognizing me because, on a far grander scale, I am you... or at least a part of you.

I'm suspecting you and I may have some adventure ahead of us, or it may have just been a necessity that we find and recognize each other.
