I'd wondered about that mark when I came here. I had forgotten since then. It didn't seem important in the face of all the other things I remembered.
After some thought, I realized that the distinction between the Branded and others means little here. In this haphazard mix of races, those from other lands couldn't care less. ... Yet, it's not them. The only one who matters... is from my world. He would know what it means.
Did I ever tell him? I don't remember. Even if I did, I don't think he's remembered. ... It's better if he doesn't know. If he doesn't know, he won't scorn me.
As for this incident, it's highly likely that Sanaki's music box bestowed these memories upon me. I can't avoid everything. ... So, what else? What else is there left? If this is the direction my memories are taking, and I can do nothing to stop them....
The best course of action would be to leave without them.
Simpler than it sounds. That's what we've been trying to accomplish since the beginning. If I could halt the return of my memories, I would gladly stay, so long as Ike remains as he has. ... No, all these thoughts work in circles.
Curse you, island. You take us to relieve us of our memory, and then you give them back? What is the good in that?
