That's been happening a lot today. I probably shouldn't have been ignoring them for so long, although it seems like the actual effect is an evolution of the original version...
There was an—incident, this morning, at Barn House. A bunch of stuff got . . . flung around, like there was an earthquake? But it was just inside the house. And some people got hurt.
It . . . well. I hardly have any of my own memories back. And it's not to say that I remember anything quite like this, exactly, but it . . . it's something I can relate to, anyway.
Should I—would you prefer I tell you what it contains so you can brace for it? Or would you rather simply . . .
...well, that was the idea. I'm not going to say I enjoyed remembering that, but...I can at least say that I kept going past it, and that my world...turned out to be a lot bigger than that moment, as awful as it was at the time.
[lower lip wobbles. He takes a deep breath, trying to be brave]
I keep getting back memories that aren't mine, which is weird, I haven't known what to say about that, but I ...got one this morning a bit like that. The person in it had Gifts that weren't... controlled.
If we wander around we might find it floating again. I don't know if it'd give you some... help? Guidance?
[oh no. He thought he was going to be strong about it but then Lyric acted protective and he just crumples]
I don't know. I... I got the memory you just got back. With the storm. From the other point of view. But I mean, I'm not... look at me. Something weird is happening to me.

....well, believe it or not, that's not actually the worst thing I've remembered. I really am sorry you had to see it.
