Having our minds manipulated is bad, yes, but sometimes the results are good. Once, in the prison I was in before this one, I was made to believe that I was married to someone I had only spoken to briefly. When our memories returned to normal, we decided that we were very good together and began to date, and we were happy for several months after that.
