He does not forget.
The world remains clear, even now, even through carefully crafted hazes of sleep and sake, and when his eyes open to her face he knows just what he sees. She is solid and she is there, standing amidst their division like its spine and refusing to be swept away. He will not let her be swept away, let her fade like phantoms into the night, far beyond the reach of his hands.
And this is how he knows she is not her.
Knows that she is so much more than déjà vu or meant to be; and that even if she is not yet his, she is still his second chance.
