Maybe it's hard to tell in photographs. I don't think you look that much older, but maybe if we were in person I'd be able to tell it more.
Last time I got abilities, the physical - I mean there may have been a few things, but nothing significant that I recall. Mostly the ability to use the Force and the fact that I'd had training as a Jedi, obviously, was what I remember from before - outside of the memories. Now... I have memories of being able to actually interact with my body on a really basic cellular level -- it was something I did to help control the disease that I was fighting, but I can't for the life of me do it right now. Just... I know I did... while I was sick.
It wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened in a brief and not permanent way. People have changed genders, and changed ages, even before although I didn't think they got memories before did they? Fortunately I've managed to avoid most of these shenanigans - body swiping, gender changes, age changes -- until now, apparently. I'm sure if it is permanent though, Veronica won't care about the age difference. Believe me, there is a point where age is hugely important, and then there's a point where its much less so. You are always going to have the experiences you've shared here together, and that's worth a lot.
