Warning: angst, amnesia
[spoilerImagine your favorite character getting amnesia:39k5rruy]The past few days had been painful, sitting in uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room, anxious for any news from [favorite character]. Since [favorite character] had no known family, information was given to you about their current condition. After all that agonizing waiting, they told you could finally visit [favorite character].
You anxiously entered the room with a smile. “Hi, [favorite character].â€
“Who are you?†they asked, confusion clouding their eyes.
Your heart sank. “I-It’s me, [name]…â€
“Who are you?†they asked again, a bit panicked.
“It’s me… don’t you remember?†you asked, reaching out to grab their hand.
They pull away, inflicting more pain on your heart. “I don’t remember you.â€
You found it hard to breath, trying to regain your composure. “It’s me, it’s me!†you cried. “I was the one who found you after you hit your head! I-I’m your best friend…!â€
“I don’t know who you are,†they told you. They looked up at the ceiling. “Who am I?†Their voice quivered with fear. “Where am I? What’s happening?â€
A nurse entered the room. “Hey, I’m just making sure everything’s alright.â€
You bit your lip. “[He/She] doesn’t remember me.â€
“Oh no…†The nurse looked at [favorite character], then at you. “I’ll be right back.â€
——
When the nurse comes back, you hear the dreaded sentence come from the doctor’s mouth: [favorite character] had amnesia for an indefinite amount of time. You tried not to fall to pieces as you thought of the memories you shared with [favorite character], all of them possibly gone from their mind. But you did your best to keep calm as you entered their room, holding a bag. “Hello,†you greeted.
They look at you. “The nurses say I’m your friend. But I can’t remember you.â€
“I know you can’t remember,†you say, sighing, “so I brought some things.â€
So then you laid out books, movies, and pictures, explaining to [favorite character] what each of them meant and what memory it told.
The last picture was of both you and [favorite character], standing next to each other, just smiling for the camera. “And this was the first picture of both of us together,†you said, choking back tears.
It was silent in the room. [favorite character] reached out to grab the picture, staring at it. “I can’t remember,†they said, “What’s wrong with me…?â€
“You fell,†you sighed. “You were hanging something up, then you fell. When I found you, you weren’t moving.†You attempted to smile, but failed. “All that matters is that you’re alright.â€
“But I’m not,†their voice cracked. “I can’t remember anything.â€
You bit your lip and gave [favorite character] a small hug. “You will,†you whispered, “I promise.â€
