"Suppressed" is probably a better word for it. Some of them have come back over time, but there's a lot that's still just a blur. Usually I can just fill in those gaps with reasoned assumptions, but it's not the same as knowing.
I started to realize it for certain after we were given our second incentive to kill each other. It was something about revealing our darkest secrets to the world, if there wasn't a killing within twenty-four hours. But my secret card was blank. It made no sense to me, because of course I'd looked beneath my gloves and seen the scars on my hands, and felt as though I had to keep them covered. Surely that would've constituted a "dark secret", if nothing else.
It didn't take long to realize that it wasn't that I "didn't" have a dark secret to present. It was that the mastermind "couldn't" present it — because all of my dark secrets were rooted in the knowledge that had been suppressed.
they kinda played themselves with that one huh no incentive for you
it must be hard though to not know things about yourself or to not have someone who can fill in the gaps for you but maybe they'll all come back after time suppressed is better than erased at least
actually i...got this thing, when i got the chocobo it's a mirror that's supposed to show you memories like i think you think on it and it displays whatever in the mirror i wonder if it would work?
It's just tedious sometimes. I'll be asked a basic question and realize I can't answer it — "what year is it", for example. I can guess, or draw conclusions. But that's different than knowing.
...Do you want to try, sometime? You might see some unpleasant things.
