How are you taking it? These memories.

[He looks down a little.]
It's been. . . hard. I've had to remember something a few times now that I don't like thinking about.

no subject

no subject
I got back my memories of my friend Dimple. So maybe you'll remember your sister again soon.
no subject
I really hope so.
