We walked on without a moment’s rest. Kiryu guided me around the town, but absolutely nothing I saw struck the slightest of chords. My memories were as lost as ever. I was starting to think that it’d be easier if we could just say that the Kunugi Kou she knew was a totally different person than me. That’d be easier for me as well, considering how I forgot. I knew from the start that I wouldn’t be getting them back all that easily.

Our memory hunt/tour of Shusen City continued, but all we really managed to accomplish was wasting a whole bunch of time. Hours into the venture, we only had two places in the immediate area left to visit: the elementary school we’d attended, and the houses we’d lived in. At first I thought we were saving the main course for last, but I figured that likely wasn’t the real reason. In truth, it seemed most plausible that remembering the time she, Daiki, and I spent together was really hard on Kiryu. She’d probably been avoiding those places. After all, she had just as many memories in this town as I supposedly did.

“I’m sorry about yesterday.” Kiryu suddenly came to a stop and apologized out of the blue.

“Huh? Where’s this coming from?”

“Your amnesia... I’m sure it’s been harder on you than anyone else, but I shouted at you anyway.” Her apology was completely earnest, and the tension was stifling. I had to find a way to lighten up the conversation.

“Nah, it’s cool, you don’t have to get all serious about apologizing. It’s totally true that I forgot, and I didn’t stop to think about any of this stuff until just recently. I should feel a lot worse about that than you should about chewing me out the one time.”

“But even if you do remember everything, we still won’t...”

“Whoa, wait, hold up, why do you sound all nervous? Where’s this coming from?!”

“I’m scared... What if we go see our school, see our homes, and you still don’t remember a thing? Wouldn’t that mean... Wouldn’t that mean that we were never really important to you after all...?” She bit her lip, her expression communicating a confused mixture of grief, frustration, and fear all at once.

“I-I mean, c’mon, for all you know, I might be lying about the whole amnesia thing, right? Or, hell, maybe you’ve got the wrong Kunugi Kou!”

I tried to distract her by breaking down her basic assumptions about the situation. Sure, I might end up getting scorned as a liar if she took me seriously, but it’d be way better than letting her stew in her own worry and despair.

“No, you’re the right Kunugi Kou. I’m sure of it,” she replied with a faint, frail smile. “I know I said all sorts of horrible things to you yesterday, but in the end, I think you really are the same Kunugi Kou that I used to know. Sometimes you seem different, of course. Like the way you smile, and the way you talk—they’re a bit off every once in a while.
