Morgan:
Let's see here... Birthday? May 5th... Favorite colors? Blue and purple... Favorite food? Probably bear meat...

Laurent:
What are you going on about over there, Morgan?

Morgan:
Least favorite food? Veggies, apparently. Don't seem to mind them now, though...

Laurent:
Morgan!

Morgan:
Oh! Laurent?! Guess I was pretty out of it to miss my own brother paying a visit! Did you need something?

Laurent:
I was simply curious as to the reason behind your frantic muttering. Were you perhaps practicing some new magical incantations?

Morgan:
Nope! Just going back over my notes on what you told me about myself. I was hoping they'd hold some clue that might help spark my memory. Heh. It's kind of crazy how much you know about me, huh? Like, I really once got five nosebleeds in the same day? I have no memory of that at all. AT ALL! Ha ha ha! I can just imagine...

Laurent:
Ah, yes. Well, you're still as jocular and garrulous as ever...

Morgan:
I am? I mean, I was?! Hmm, now that you mention it, that does sound...right, somehow. ...Heh. Everything still feels funny. Even you being my brother hasn't really clicked.

Laurent:
If you think the experience odd for you, imagine how I perceive it... My sibling starts speaking to me as if I were a stranger, asking peculiar questions... In truth, I was somewhat perplexed as to how to even interact with you.

Morgan:
Heh, yeah... Sorry about that. But that's just another reason why I'm working hard to get my memories back. Once I do, nobody will have to feel weird or awkward around me again. Pretty noble, huh? I'm such a sweet, selfless girl!

Laurent:
Indeed. And oh so humble... In any case, I'm happy to try and help you retrieve your memories however I can. It would be most satisfying to one day laugh together about old times—now included!

Morgan:
Heh, right!

Laurent:
Whew... That was a fierce battle today. Perhaps I shall retire a bit ear...ly? Hmm? Is someone unconscious over there? Wait, is that Morgan?!

Morgan:
Nn...nngh...

Laurent:
Morgan! Morgan, are you all right?! What happened?!

Morgan:
...Wha—?! Laurent! Wh-what am I doing here? Was I asleep?! I don't even remember feeling tired... Oh, right! I was bashing that huge tome against my head when I blacked out. That explains why my face hurts so bad...

Laurent:
For the love of all that's holy, why in the WORLD would you do that?! I postulate this was a misguided attempt to try and get your memories back?

Morgan:
Well, yeah! Obviously. If you ever saw me bludgeoning myself just for fun, I hope you'd put a stop to it...

Laurent:
I would have stopped you regardless of the reason, Morgan! I know you long to have your memories back, but you cannot place yourself at risk!

Morgan:
...But I want to be able to talk with you about old times again.

Laurent:
I know, and I desire that as well. But more than that, I want you safe. I may just be another stranger to you, but to me, you are family. In the future, with Mother and Father gone, it was just the two of us. You're all I had, Morgan... I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you.

Morgan:
All right. I'm sorry, Laurent.

Laurent:
Just as long as you understand.

Morgan:
...Heh, that felt really siblingy just now. Don't you think? Me messing up and you scolding me felt... I don't know, it felt really plausible! Maybe if you keep it up, I'll remember something!

Laurent:
An intriguing theory, but you fail to take into account—

Morgan:
Yeah! Oh yeah, this will totally work! So go on, keep yelling! C'mon, scream at your amnesiac sister, Laurent!

Laurent:
Er, the causation for such a—

Morgan:
Hey, why don't you use the tome, too? Come on, don't hold back. Really wallop me with that thing! Maybe the simultaneous physical and mental shock will jar some memories loose! It's gotta be twice as effective as either one by itself, right? That's just basic science.

Laurent:
Now see here! There is no rational basis for any of this!

A Support

Laurent:
I'm headed into town, Morgan. Perhaps you would care to join me?

Morgan:
I'd love to! Is there something in particular you need?

Laurent:
I might pick up a couple of items, yes. But mostly I believe there is something YOU need.

Morgan:
It doesn't have to do with getting my memories back, does it?

Laurent:
The opposite, really. Perhaps there is no need to concern yourself with recovering your memories.

Morgan:
That...makes no sense.

Laurent:
In truth, the fact that you have forgotten me has been rather harrowing. But...perhaps it would be better to build new memories than to worry about old ones.

Morgan:
What do you mean?

Laurent:
I have formulated a hypothesis about your present condition. Your amnesia, that is. I wonder if perhaps you didn't have some awful memory you couldn't bear to keep. ...I know I have quite a few myself. I often see the faces of fallen comrades... Innocents we were unable to save...

Morgan:
...... I'm sorry you have to bear those dreadful memories, Laurent...

Laurent:
Granted, it's just a hypothesis. Even if it were true, it's not like you could have consciously suppressed your memories. But I do believe that retrieving those lost memories might cause unforeseen harm...

Morgan:
Hmm... I understand, and believe me, I appreciate the thought... But I want to remember things, no matter how painful they are. Because I'm sure there'll be plenty of great memories mixed with the bad ones. And the truth, whatever it is... I really want to have that back, you know?

Laurent:
Well, if you are certain, then I'm happy to help.

Morgan:
That's really kind of you, Laurent, but do you truly realize what you're saying? I mean, it could be years before I remember anything. Or decades. Heck, there's a decent chance I may never get my memories back at all. I don't want to drag you into something that could last forever.

Laurent:
As your brother, I am already sworn to you forever. We are family—memories or no. You couldn't keep me away.

Morgan:
Laurent, I... *sniff* Thank you! I'll do everything I can!

Laurent:
Then start by accompanying me into town.

Morgan:
Huh? But you said that doesn't have to do with getting my memories back.

Laurent:
I am unaware of any rule that states you can't enjoy a little fun while you try. And there's certainly no rule against making some happy new memories, either. You are young and full of promise! There will be ample time for worry later.

Morgan:
Right... You're right! Thanks, Brother!
