Less fear of judgment, I imagine. My opinion means nothing to you.

Something like that... It doesn't just go away. It's a part of you. It's learning how to deal with that part and everything it brings with it that's the tricky bit.

And I don't know the level of medical care available to your world, but have you talked to anyone about your psychogenic dissociative amnesia? It's a troubling symptom to have persist for five years after the fact especially if you were only to regain some semblance of self after this... demon deal you mentioned.

Of course. I'd be happy to give you a tour, show you some of the things we've been working on. There's not the same sort of resources I'm used to, but there's enough to make due.

I do not know that I will ever learn to deal with it. I have Cassandra, but we both lost so much and there is a lot of pain there. It is hard, sometimes, to face her.

I am afraid I am unfamiliar with that. Not amnesia, I have seen that. Experienced it, of a magical variety. But I do not know that it is what happened to me. There was no magic, and my injuries were not the sort that would cause someone to forget. I always thought it was normal, to not remember everything when it was such a chaotic situation.

Thank you. I like to keep busy. And I want to learn about the technology of this place.

Have you talked to her about that?

We've learned, in my world, after years of study, that severe emotional trauma is sometimes enough to make a person forget things that they've been through. Not in a complete and total way, but in a manner that just makes it difficult to access memories that exist. Sometimes they can pick out flashes, details without context, specific events, but larger overarching understanding of the circumstances that they've gone through is often shadowed from them.

It is normal to have a degree of confusion when it comes to a chaotic situation, but for it to persist that long and for memory gaps that large, there's something more going on.

That we're more than equipped to help you with. I have to admit. I wouldn't mind taking a look at what you've developed. I'm curious. It took centuries and a half a dozen countries in our world for anything functional to be developed in the realm of firearms after the discovery of gunpowder.

I cannot possibly do that. She has suffered more than I have and she is still so young. I would not want to burden her.

I suppose that could be the case. I must admit I had never thought it was out of the ordinary. But if it will help, I suppose I could see someone about this condition. I am just not certain if I want to remember. What I do remember is terrible enough.

You are more than welcome to look at my inventions. I have done some research in arriving and see guns are not uncommon, so I do not imagine it would be any harm.

You're both young, and suffering can't be quantified in that way. No one's suffering is greater than someone else's. Especially when it has been derived from the same situation. It's less likely to be a burden and more than likely to be a relief to be able to share.

It will be up to you how much you want to remember, how far you want to delve. Sometimes accepting the memory gap is just as beneficial as recalling the missing pieces. I can see if there's someone in town qualified to treat it.

A little too common, really. We only get better at making them more efficient.
