I feel like I'm going mad. I keep forgetting things. This morning I woke up and I couldn't remember your voice. [ her voice breaks. ] I kept trying, but it was gone. I couldn't remember it at all. I was really scared. I thought I was going to forget you completely. I don't want to forget. If I forget… [ she trails off. quieter, she continues. ] When will you come, Father? We need you here.

[ A pause as she tries to add some semblance of happiness to her voice. ] I'm doing my prayers every night, Father. I'm working. I earn mine own coin now. And I've got really good with Needle. When you get here, I'll show you. I'll make you proud, I promise.

I wish you were here.

How normal is forgetting?

[ considering how curt and frantic she had been, she figures she owes him an apology. ]

Um, I'm sorry. For my behavior that night. And...thank you.

Sometimes. If magic has taken your memories from you, it won't be easy to regain them. When someone dear to me lost their memories of me, I had to fight to get them to remember me. I'm fighting every day to remember the memories I think the castle took from me.

Losing memories on your own... that's harder. You must rely on your loved ones to try and help you remember, if you can, or any items that help. I sometimes forget unimportant things. And then sometimes I forget... [Things he can't say.] big things.

Whichever it is, I hope you don't give up.

I haven't lost anything.

[A pause. He isn't quite sure if she's lying or telling the truth, but either way, he had his secrets, other people were allowed to have their own secrets.]

Your business is your own. I didn't mean to assume. I've just had a lot of experience in losing memories.

May I ask your name?
