[impatiens]

I've never remembered so much at once...

[riverbeans]

... Is your head okay?

[impatiens]

... I think so?! It's... A weird feeling.

[ ... ]

Maybe I need a moment.

[riverbeans]

Take all the time you need. Need, uh, water or tea or anything?

[impatiens]

... Some water would be nice. I'm going to sit down in the Life Support section.

[ Comfy comfy. ]

[riverbeans]

All right, I'll be right back.

[goes to retrieve water for poor amalthea]

[impatiens]

[ Lies down on the floor, limbs out like a starfish. ]

[riverbeans]

[comes back...










i see]

... Amalthea? You still alive there?

[impatiens]

Yeah, I'm alive. It's really comfortable in this room.

[ She sits up. ]

[riverbeans]

[hands her the water]

I do like it a lot.

[impatiens]

Thanks.

[ She takes a sip... ]

... It's really weird to remember some stuff.

[riverbeans]

Heh... I'd think so. Weird in a neutral way, or a good or bad way?

[impatiens]

... Neutral because it isn't a bad thing. Right?

[riverbeans]

... Yeah. I think it's good to remember.

[impatiens]

I think so, too. Even though I don't remember it all and I... Think whatever is missing might be awful, it's better if we remember.

[riverbeans]

[a little smile]

Well, all of us are here for you when you do remember, and if it turns out to be terrible.

[impatiens]

... It really is nice to have people around and I feel bad for saying that.

[ Because if they weren't here, they wouldn't be suffering. ]

Thank you.

[riverbeans]

Hey, don't feel bad. I didn't sign up to be here, but if there's a crisis, then in a weird way, a part of me is glad to know about it.

And I'm happy to have met you too, of course.

[impatiens]

Seems like none of us on the ship did. [ A little laugh. Gonna suffer together. ] You're really so sweet, Charles. Number 2 bachelor.

[ She reaches out and gently gives his shoulder a squeeze. ]

Fate... Is a strange thing.

[riverbeans]

[a little laugh]

Back up, back up. Number 2 what now?

[impatiens]

The suave goose!

[ Emoji kitchen. ]

[riverbeans]

Ohhhh, right! Well, I don't think I count for that category, but I appreciate the thought.

[impatiens]

It's very tempting to pick at you to see if you have any kind of love life, but...

[ She thinks... ]

If you wanted to ask me anything, from what I remember, you don't need to be gentle about it. I didn't think the old roster would make this easier when you all first showed it to us.

[riverbeans]

[he gives her a little smile.]

... Thanks, Amalthea. Let's see... what do you remember about the names you recalled? Ellya, Gavin, Kieran, Rhys. Do you know what they look like?

[impatiens]

For the most part? I think?
