voice | trion's temple

[This isn't where he was supposed to be. He was on the roof just a second ago. Why... why is he in the temple now? It doesn't make any sense.]

[And then the feeling of loss sets in. Considering he can no longer recall the events leading up to, and including the fight with Overlord, he can only assume this loss is of memory itself. The most important thing he has...]

[... needless to say, when it finally occurs to him to grab the Link and make a call, he sounds utterly frantic.]

Someone -- please. I don't know what happened. I...

[He actually needs a moment to calm down enough to speak.]

... My memory is... there is something missing. I can feel -- I can feel it!

Please. Help.

[This is the most distressing thing in the world... at least until someone tells him he was dead a minute ago.]

Hey, hey, it's okay. You're probably just in shock. You... you died. I don't kow how you're alive now, but we'll figure it out.

You need to stay calm and stay with me, I'm coming for you. Can you transmit your coordinates?

[thxforthememories]

I...

[No -- he'd told McCrane not to speak of it again. How would she know that? Why would he have told her?]

I told him not to tell anyone! Not to talk about it any more! Why would he tell you that?

[Because, clearly, she must mean what happened to him in his future, in his world. Not here. Right?]

I can't calm -- be calm. I'm missing... me. I... yes. I can transmit.

[Beep boop there they go.]

Okay. Look, you can. I know you can. And it's ok to forget sometimes, we'll help you remember, ok?

McCrane! He was the one who... told me what happened. But I didn't want to hear about it anymore. Why did he tell you?

It's not okay. I'm not okay.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's going to be, but you need to be calm because that won't help you and it won't help us help you.

... He told me about what happened... back home. He said they k-- killed me.

[He goes quiet a second. Because that never gets any easier to say.]

If... you didn't talk to him. Why would you say that?

I'll try.

To be honest hun we've never spoken and I had no... idea.

Say what?

[thxforthememories]

You didn't know...?

[What's happening here.]

If you didn't know -- why would you say that? Why would you say I died?
