No, not the way you're thinking. I didn't realize it until I came here and—[ she pauses a little, fumbling a little. yves. it was always yves. ] I started to realize there were memories of a person I'd forgotten. It only made more sense when that house of mirrors showed up and I could see more of what I'd forgotten about Noah.

[ it's always yves. ]

That was a lot... [ all those memories out on display. he hated i, actually. ] Do you know why you'd have forgotten him? What do you remember?

It was, but in a way I think it helped reframe some things for me. [ ... ] I remember everything, just without him in those memories. And I think we've all forgotten because of the sacrifice we asked Cabeswater to make. I don't... think we realized what it would mean for Noah.

[ cabeswater? ]

Sacrifice...? [ he has so many questions. ] So... you had to do something, and the price for it was forgetting this friend of yours? Is that it?

Was it for that thing you said you'd all been looking for?

Yes, and yes. [ he really could just ask. ]

And... yes, in a way, but only slightly. Other people had been searching for that king, too, and it created an even bigger problem for us.
