[Nope, he doesn't know what to say. So he just stands there looking sadly at the ground.]

[latteheart]

[B-baww. She doesn't know what to say either, but she feels awful. Worse than just not remembering. It's the same aching feeling as whenever she looked at his picture.]

...we...were friends, weren't we...?

I...I'm sorry I can't remember. I said I'd never forget, but they took it away...I'm sorry.

[emomachine]

[He just nods... and shakes his head at her apology.]

It's not your fault. It's the scientists... they made you forget, right?

[latteheart]

Yes...they did. When I came here, I didn't remember anything. Even though everyone said I'd been here before...

It might not be my fault, but I'm still sorry. I wish I could remember. I wish I could remember you. I can still...feel it. But my mind can't remember...
