I think I'm going to go crazy looking through all of this. Weddings, fights, deaths... how do we know any of this is real? Even if our names are on it, some of the things here are impossible. There was this one with this girl--

[a pause, and then a sigh] But everyone losing their memories doesn't exactly fall under normal, possible things, does it? Nothing makes sense.

... I'm Claire Bennet. If anyone has anything of mine, I'd appreciate seeing it.

I figured it was okay since you offered a boost. [sets her down] Sorry.

I thought you'd fly or whatever.

[she hands him the tape :D ] Back to your room, I guess?

Uh... [looks at the tape in his hand] Are you sure you want me to watch this with you? I mean, I'll only do it as long as you're comfortable with me seeing--

I think I've already seen the worst thing. [hello, head cut open]

But if you're not comfortable with it--

[nudges her to go back to his room 9_9 GIRL U SO DUMB OF COURSE HE'S FINE WITH IT]

I'm going, I'm going. [she's slightly touched! And goes back to his room, opening the door for him... but going in first:D And going to go sit on the edge of his bed]

[closes the door behind him and goes to put the tape in :D sits beside her]

Thanks for sharing this with me.

Thanks for sitting through this with me. [smiles at him, then turns her attention to the TV...]

[WHOA THIS IS A DRAMATIC SCENE; sees Elle like, shooting electric shit at the flying guy with Claire's arms... when they fall, Claire turns them around and cushions the guy's blow, but she appears to be fine! slowly looks at Claire :O]

[Holy crap that dude can fly. Holy crap that girl hit them with electricity. Holy crap she's a human cushion. She's not even paying attention to Kyle, eyes glued to the screen--

Especially when the one guy gets shot in the eye and she yells "dad" and starts running]

[Holy FUCK... glances between the screen and Claire D:]

[And then the scene starts playing again...]

Turn it off.

[JESUS, LAWD SAVE MA ASS; runs at the tv and shuts the power off] Claire, I-- [D: D:]

[she leans forward, elbows on her knees, hand covering her mouth... okay, seeing yourself dead was one thing. Seeing someone--your dad, apparently--get killed... was another. Let's not even get into the fact that she should have gone splat]

[approaches her and stands over her] Do you need another break? [reaches down to pull her up and hug]

[just lets herself be hugged, replaying the scene in her head over and over and over]

... I'm okay.

Yeah, saying that you're okay when you're not is another one of those word reflexes.

[HUG HUG HUG]

I'm... I'm more upset that I'm not crying or--I don't even know that person. That's my dad? He's...?

[... maybe not okay :( she kinda clings]

No, it's hard to react to these when they... have no meaning without your other memories.

[HOLDS HER TIGHTLY] I'm sorry, I broke my word.

You don't have to apologize.

[PULLS AWAY] I don't have to, but I want to.

I'm sorry that you had to see that, plus all the other ones. And I'm sorry that you might keep having to.

I'm sorry you had to see that, too.

[she forces up a smile] Though I'm glad you're here.

[is surprised!] Is that another word reflex thing?

No, it's not. It's better a friend find this with me, even if we're strangers right now.
