#… how ironic I go back to my yugioh idea all the way pre-college 🤣

… Well, funny enough, I just came back to this old idea of a little guy who gave himself amnesia so he can lock himself and the demon possessing him away, only to be released and grieving the friends he had hurt back then, but can’t remember who they were to him 🤣

Enough of the trope where memory loss undoes the damage or the corruption or whatever. More content where removing memories just removes the context.

The tragedy of needing to grieve and not knowing what or who you lost or why. The angst of having trauma and being denied the awareness that it's trauma. The suspense of being different somehow and left to wonder how and when. The tension of knowing that something is off and you can't find where it hurts. The Adventure Zone gets it. Kingdom Hearts gets it.

There is an aching inside you and you don't know how it got there.
