People are telling me I'm not remembering my family when I feel like I remember them just fine. You've met Booker, right? When we go home for breaks, is... that your house?
I think Nanashi was right. I think something's happening to people's memories.
[This feels stupid. It contradict what comes to his mind as fact. But there's so many blank spaces that don't have a shape to fill it out. He has no proof one way or another. Just like the meeting, he finds himself getting angry - not at Levi, but at himself, at circumstance.]
I don't know.
But we've spent a lot of time together here. I've talk to you a lot. I wouldn't do that with just anyone.
Is it just the four of us that you remember? Do you remember my sister?
[A whisper of a memory, of cookies on a plate, shared with friends. Eight colors. He doesn't remember what they were. He remembers Booker liked the blackberry ones.
Was there a reason he'd done that?
...]
Do you remember what happened to her? How she died?
[There's no way anyone could have known that. They never talked about that day outside the family walls. Never.
He doesn't remember Levi coming to see the mirrors with him, or touching the armor he had that forced that sort of memory onto a stranger. Could he have guessed? But how could someone guess so precisely?
[He lets out a shuddering sigh to himself. He's still reeling. Nothing's... Unless some miracle happens and Barrett gets his memories back, nothing's ever going to be the same.
But...this is a good direction to move in, he thinks. Way better than standing still.]

Are you sure?

Like, I don’t remember how we ended up in that house. But I do remember it’s Lucas’s house. Does that name ring a bell?
Who’s your whole family?
no subject
It's just me and Booker. We used to have a sister. Our mom died when she was born, but our dad was around. You wouldn't have liked him.
I don't remember how we left him, though. I can't figure it out.
no subject
I remember your dad, but I wish I didn’t. I didn’t just not like him. I hated him.
He was my dad too. Just like Lucas is our oldest brother.
no subject
You're my brother, too?
You're sure?
no subject
But I AM sure about this. More than anything.

Our sister?

But I'd never forget Lilith, even if she's not with us anymore. Whoever or whatever's doing this to us can pry her memory out of my cold, dead hands.

Yeah.
I didn't see it happen, but I was home. I heard her screaming in the driveway.
Couldn't get that out of my head for a long time.

Could you come to my room sometime?
The special one.
I want to write it down. Everything we remember.
I want to believe you, Levi.

Just tell me when and I'll be there.
We'll figure this out together.

Morgan is worrying me. I'm trying to calm him down. And I still want to talk to a few people about what happened at the meeting.
no subject
Is Mithrun having issues too...?
no subject
He's forgotten some stuff. I don't know how much yet.
But he isn't acting like himself anymore.
no subject
I'm sorry. That this is happening.

Tomorrow afternoon. I'll meet you there. Promise.
