That is a relief indeed, thank you for telling me. [ Even if it means that certain others won't be joining her here in all probability, if they've gone back to their home worlds, she'll take that over torture. ][ ]
I'm an amnesiac myself, so I'm hardly one to judge anyone for having a faulty memory. You have nothing to apologize for.
It's a quirk of my species. We have long hibernations, something like fifty years, and when I wake up I don't remember anything or have any personality. It's like being born all over again.
Luckily Red Son managed to put a stop to mine just before I fell asleep this time, so it looks like I won't have to hibernate anymore. Forever is a long time so I'm not assuming it's a permanent fix, but he knows the formula now so we're hoping we can make it stick.
Unfortunately it didn't give me my memories back though, so I still only have pieces of my past before I woke up in Imeeji. Basically I have only the memories I purchased there and a few fragments. Sometimes I get a piece of something when I have a strong emotion, but it's more like a flashback than a memory recall.

… She can hardly begin to fathom what that must be like. How lonely, how painful. ]
Amnesia's never a fun time, but being trapped in a cycle like that ... I'm truly glad that he was able to help you. He's a pretty special guy, isn't he?
Could having those flashbacks mean the memories are still there somewhere?
He was special to me before he fixed me, but even more special now. He offered me and my husband a home with him once we leave here, since neither he nor I have anywhere worth returning to. [ So far as she knows. ]
The memories are definitely in there. It's just a block from hibernation. An evolutionary thing that no one really deciphered the meaning of.

Please don't feel obliged to answer this - at all if you don't want to, or in any detail
Is your amnesia because of Imeeji, or something else?
