I don't suppose that anyone has managed to retain any memories concerning the weekend? Or was everyone affected?

[ his voice is clipped; this entry is short and sweet. .. yeah this is a sensitive subject. ]

Tampering with someone's memory is unforgivable.

Mm, I don't think anything particularly interesting happened to me either, but others weren't so lucky.

[Leonhardt will toss up a quick filter, because what little he does know, he doesn't want his little brother hearing about.]

I woke up in the clinic on Monday. I know I'd very much like to know what caused that. Until others started commenting on memory loss I thought whatever happened caused me to not recall how I ended up there.

I'm sorry to hear it; I hope you're recovering well.

Unfortunately I don't think you're the only case.

I was released the same day. It was just rather strange to not know what caused me to end up there. I know it wasn't illness, so it had to be someone or something that was doing people harm.

[ .. man barnaby knows that feeling all too well. his poor brain. ]

Only certain people. Plenty of people weren't harmed at all. Most, in fact.

[ fishy.. ]

[Leonhardt can empathize to a degree since he knows someone who lost years of their life. Now he knows some of how Joshua felt, though it seems easier to deal with when everyone forgot.]

That would indicate it was likely small in scale and not a group. And since I ended up at the clinic in the plaza, that would indicate I was in the village at the time it happened. But it still leaves many questions.

[ .. yeeeah, barnaby pretty much lost his entire life, up until about a year ago. everything before that is a quilted, fabricated patchwork. he'll never know the truth for sure, so this whole thing doesn't..

.. sit well with him. ]

Too many questions.

[ ones he's not sure he'll ever get answers to. but he isn't going to say that. ]

[That was about what Joshua had lost and it sucks when one's little brother doesn't even know the name of his older brother any longer. And Joshua just regained his own memories a short time ago in Luceti. Now that thought is making Leonhardt wish that Rui Yamase was still in Luceti since it would be interesting to see if she could do anything.]

Very much so. And I wonder why they took the memories away rather than replacing them. They most definitely can do that and it would make their tampering less obvious.

[As bad as it would be, it would seem that if the Malnosso wanted to cover their tracks better, giving everyone memories of doing normal things for the weekend would make more sense. But then, who knows with the Malnosso.]

[ barnaby just shakes his head. ]

Because they obviously don't care. Either it isn't worth their time, or they're simply trying to make a show of their power. Though I suppose that we can't discount the fact that it may be a lapse in power, that they made some sort of mistake. But that seems unlikely.

It would of course depend on the reason. Completely wiping memories likely is far easier than replacing them. I know replacing memories with false ones isn't even possible in my world, but erasing them is.

[Because unlike most of Luceti, Leonhardt isn't fully convinced that the Malnosso as a whole do things just for their own amusement and a show of power. Some may, but it seems more likely that they have grown desperate enough that they care little about what harm is done as long as they eventually accomplish their goal of returning home.]

.. It's possible in mine. Who can say what sorts of resources that the Malnosso have. I'm inclined to think that it simply wasn't worth their time.
