[Hey, Asgard. Have you ever had to hear a terrified feral six-year-old throwing a tantrum?

Unfortunately, you're about to.

For Lilly, forgetting Asgard memories had been disquieting-- it felt funny, and it was always confusing when they suddenly came rocketing back to her. But now she's periodically forgetting Mama and her sister, and that? Is just not acceptable.]

Mama! No! Victoria! Mama, Mama, Mama, Victoria, Mama!

MAMA!

[There's the sound of small palms slapping the ground in frustration.]

Stop now! Help! Come-- come back!

[She smacks at her bracelet display, and the feed ends there.]

Comments

[fuckingwolverine]

Yeah. And now. Now.

[She pauses, because explaining more complex concepts like "I've been forgetting her and my sister from time to time, but right now I remember them both perfectly" is a lot more complicated when you don't like talking.]

... Rembernow.

[... Especially when you're also pretty bad at talking.]

[emulation]

Y'know how to write yet?

[fuckingwolverine]

[Lilly nods! Thanks for giving her literacy, Asgard. She switches to that, because typing is easier than talking.]

forgot before remember now dont want to forget again help help help

[Punctuation is for squares.]

[emulation]

'Kay - good. Hold on.

[She'll type too.]

You could write down her name somewhere. Or draw a picture.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She turns the video back on again, and holds up two pictures in turn.

Picture one:]

Victoria.

[And picture two:]

Mama.

[emulation]

[Well, that's... creepy.]

Okay. I won't let you forget them ever again, I promise.

[fuckingwolverine]

Ok.

[Then, again, just to reiterate:]

Ok.

[emulation]

You can talk to me if you need to, all right? I got your back.

[fuckingwolverine]

[... Maybe someday she'll learn that she's supposed to say thanks.]
