I'm 100% on board with not remembering him going all Jack Torrance on me. It was bad enough to be trapped in a prison world with him once. Even if I didn't really interact with him. That's not the point!

It was OCTOBER. It was a Malivore thing. And your fire chicken flew the coop, and, me being the gracious friend I am, went off to Mordor to fetch your hobbit for you while you did that Hope thing with Christmas in October. I don't know how you two even have a relationship when you're always throwing yourself at windmills and he's always taking flight, and you're both doing it for this greater good and that greater good and trying to be valiant. I guess here you might have more down time and less places to run (him, mostly), but I don't get it at home.
