Episode 107

[spongetastic]

I thought I understood, but I guess I still needed a lesson. Maybe it's just been too long. I forgot. But I get it now.

This place... What's it really doing to us? All of these things that happen, the experiences we have, why bother? What's the point if not to help us grow and change? If it even means to help at all.

So am I. But Paris is big.

[spongetastic]

It is. How did you like living there?

[heal_theworld]

I don't actually remember very much of it. The memories faded a bit once I got back to the castle.

But I remember it was all right, but I always wanted more. Maybe I knew, somehow, that I didn't belong there.

[spongetastic]

And then you started remembering Paradisa. Right?

[heal_theworld]

Yes. When I started talking to people I knew previously. It all came back when I talked to my fiance, though.

[spongetastic]

So the person you loved most brought back your memories. That sounds familiar...

[heal_theworld]

...It does?

[spongetastic]

I've had some memory problems myself back home. Thinking about a person I cared about help bring those memories back.

[heal_theworld]

Did they? [A smile.] I'm glad, at least that you got your memories straightened out. Trust me, I know how confusing and terrible it can be.

[spongetastic]

Yeah... That's why I want to remember everything that happens here, the good and the bad.

[heal_theworld]

So do I. I wish there was a way to remember when we go home. [Not that it would ever do her any good... but it was more for her friends that she wished that.]

[spongetastic]

I'd like to think there is. I'm hoping there is, anyway.

[heal_theworld]

So am I. I don't want to forget anyone, or for people to forget me, much less forget everything that has happened here. [How much people had grown, made connections.]

[spongetastic]

The only way we'll find out is if we go back home, but... I think I'm happy enough living here.

[heal_theworld]

So am I. There's nothing back there for me, really...

[spongetastic]

... I'm sorry to hear that.

[heal_theworld]

It's all right. I'm happy here with my friends. [She really is, even if she did lose her fiance last month.]
