... (pen taps)

I've been told this is how I am to communicate with others in this group...

I still don't know where I am...or who I am for that matter. This memory loss, I understand that it isn't normal, but. I feel a certain familiarity with it...

'tis a strange thing to be so accustomed to something so unusual.

I am Wilhelm. To whom do I address?

[unabletofeel]

I agree. It's unnerving, I think.

Hello, Wilhelm. I'm Terra... you are experiencing the same thing?

I remember that much, at least. Though the more I try to remember the more my head hurts.

[distantglory]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Lady Terra.

Indeed. I too lack memories of my identity from before my arrival here, though there are details that have already returned to me.

[unabletofeel]

It's nice to meet you too, Wilhelm. Are there others like us?

Your memory is returning? That must feel nice...I suppose. I just have to wait.

I do remember a few details...my name being one. The others just don't make much sense.

[distantglory]

There are two others, though I admit that I have spoke very little to either. I have been... preoccupied.

It comes slowly and often in dreams, but there is a certain satisfaction to knowing the answers to the questions of whence I came.

[unabletofeel]

Preoccupied?

I can see how it would be satisfying, but don't you fear that your past may hold things you wish not to remember?

[distantglory]

It is a private matter.

It would be foolishness to fear the uncertain and dread that which cannot be changed.

[unabletofeel]

I don't wish to pry.

Maybe so...I cannot explain it properly, though.

You mean to just keep moving forward, fight another day as it comes?

[distantglory]

A person's past will always be fraught with mistakes that seem best forgotten and wrongs best unremembered. But as you said, you must keep moving forward. Yet still, you must embrace the road you have already traversed and learn from the experiences you have gained. My memories may be filled with demons and death, but I am ever eager to remember. Despite such dark images, they are also filled with those I would call friends.

[unabletofeel]

You may be right...I wish it was that easy, though.

You seem very strong, Wilhelm... I know everyone can hold that strength to fight. But I need something to move forward to...something to fight for. If it's inevitable that our memories will return, I will wait for them...but being glad or displeased about them is something else entirely.

[distantglory]

I'm sorry that I cannot give you what you seek. It is us to each man or woman to find the path laid out for them. But if I can aid you, then do not hesitate to ask.

[unabletofeel]

No, you have nothing to apologize for, you were only trying to help.

Thank you, Wilhelm. I'm sure I'll find answers, it's merely the anticipation that is so unnerving...

(long pause)

I'll try to move forward.

[unabletofeel]

No, you did nothing wrong so please, don't apologize.

I'm sure I'll find my path...it's just this anticipation that's the most unnerving.

(long pause)

I'll try to move forward.

[distantglory]

Very well. Good luck.
