Update 1: Weird Awakening

Awareness seeps into your mind slowly, over the course of a week or so. Those odd moments where reality has a dream-like quality, sights overlain with memories, vision doubling and doubling and doubling again. Buildings swim in and out of focus, from wooden structures to stonework churches to concrete and steel skyscrapers, and back again. There's an echo of warmth throughout your body, edging just out of touch as a word you forgot the moment you began to say it.
It's just as well you didn't get your memories back when you were born, you'd have gone completely insane. As it was, if you had to guess, you'd began regaining yourself in parallel with the awakening of your chakra. There were still weird flashes of memory every so often, but it seemed to have stabilised largely. The memories have the strangest quality to them, they're so utterly yours whilst also being foreign and feeling like they had as much substance as smoke.
You're...maybe a year old? You never were all that good at judging ages, but a year seems about right. You're certainly weaker than you can ever remember being but you can wrench your body into doing what you want at least. Hearing is downright surreal, you certainly never learnt Japanese in your last life but you can taste the meanings in the air, the entirety of this little life spent around the language has clearly ingrained itself on you somehow. You're still at the typical level of a one-year old's understanding of the language but all the same you're grateful as anything, languages were hard as anything to learn and you'd happily take the shortcut.
You were in an orphanage, or at least you're moderately sure it was an orphanage, there were a dozen or so other kids of various ages in the place, with some adults running the place. Glancing out of the windows you could see you were on shallow hill overlooking a smallish town, with a huge mountain range visible in the distance over towards the west. The bit of land around the village seemed a bit of a mix, cliffs and fields, stairs cut into the earth between levels of the place. There were half a dozen windmills around the place, and given how strong the breeze was you could see why.
An ozone tang prickled your sense of smell, not long before a thunderstorm broke in the sky above. Your conciousness having finally collected itself you force yourself into awareness. What exactly, are you going to do here? What should you do here, if there was any such thing as should?
You won't be able to just act like an ordinary child, there's no way you'd be able to pull that off, even if you'd been willing to, which you weren't. You'd already caught a few unsettled glances aiming your way and whispers you hadn't been able to make out. You'd been spacing out all week, and even if you hadn't most one year old children didn't have a black and red sigil etched onto their skin.
What is it you want to achieve?
