Before I asked for my memory to be changed, I wrote it down. Now I can compare what I remember to what I wrote. So I know what happened, but now I can't recall the specific sensory details that I kept having flashbacks about. And my panic attacks have been getting a lot less severe since then.
If I change my mind later, I can always ask for those memories back. I don't miss them, though.

Turns out, some memories are probably not worth hanging onto.

Re: Hiryuu
...You seem concerned.
Re: Hiryuu
[ missing the significance, though ]
You don't worry you might have forgotten something important? Something... you needed?
Re: Hiryuu
So, no.
Re: Hiryuu
I... wasn't sure you remembered what you'd asked to be removed.
