It's a big thing, to forget that much. All the places you knew, and the people you cared about . . . the person you were before gave all of that up. Mine did, too.
If I had to trust someone, right now, to remember Pavo, to want to help them as much as I does, even though they and that person I became might be total strangers . . . it would be really, really hard. But that's what the me I was before did.
