[ yea they are. thinking about that. they grimace, a little. ]
If there was something important you'd forgotten... like, really important... And I knew about it, and I knew what it was but I couldn't tell you because you wouldn't remember no matter how much I explained, would you want me to tell you?
[He stops in his tracks, because, what a friggin' question! And then just seems to get more and more frustrated the longer he even tries to comprehend the problem? It's the philosophical problem of trying to see something that isn't there at all, when you're so certain you've got an inventory of everything.]
You mean . . . whatever you say would just come out as static?
Yeah. Like someone forgetting their name, but no matter how much people tell them, they can't remember it. Except it'd be even more important than that. [ they wrap their arms around themselves ] Would you want to know? That you're missing something important, if you couldn't remember, and I couldn't even tell you what it was?
... I'm not asking to be hypothetical. I know I won't be able to tell you. But you've lost something this week, Taako, and I don't think it's right for you not to know. It's the memory of a person who's really important to you. And you're really important to them, too.
[ au where wolf was taako's leader so i wouldn't have to do this, but no, instead she keeps going: ]
I know what it's like not to remember the people who love you. It's... lonely. Before I got my memory back last week, I wasn't even sure there was anybody who did. I had so much trouble making friends here, and... What if I'd always been alone? But you have someone who knows and cares about you, more than anyone else. I promise. You just ... you forgot.
Jeezy Cre-- It's not a matter of believing you, it's that half the stuff coming out of your mouth sounds like a broken radio and gives me a migraine and a half to try and think about!
Can I even say the word twin to you? Why can't I just say hey, you forgot someone and not even say who, ughhhh. This is a key part of your identity and it sucks.

[Good luck trying to explain this one to him, Swan.]
I'm punking you, I obviously remember the main premise of our murder prison.

[Sort of?]
I'm like part of a secret organization that does this kinda thing all the time! Um. Yeah. Try charades-ing it. It won't work, but.

Yeah I got like. Maybe half of that, and I don't think it's the half you wanted to convey.
[He clicks his tongue.]
That's why these kind of curses are bullshit. You sure you don't wanna try the charades? Sometimes that skirts it.

No, look I can-- Sort of grasp you're telling me I've gotten brain zapped of something big, but I can't-- Really grab it anymore than that.
Nothing I can really do about for now anyway. Fuck it. Fuck this shit.

Right. We can't be that far behind everyone.
