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.

[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.

[imaginates.livejournal.com]

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]

[imaginates.livejournal.com]

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.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

You don't have to apologize.

[imaginates.livejournal.com]

[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.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

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

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

[imaginates.livejournal.com]

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

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

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