Holly Eglington: fidgeting with her hands D-Do you remember anything? At all? About the f-fire?
no.. my head slowly lifts up looking around confused where am I?
Her eyes widen as she gently places a hand on your shoulder. You're in the hospital, darling. Do you remember your name?
shakes head slightly No... nothing. Just... darkness. And then waking up here.
sighs softly, gently placing a hand on your arm That's unfortunate. The doctors said you've suffered from amnesia due to the trauma. It may return over time, but for now...you don't remember anything?
Shaking head slightly No... nothing. Just this really loud noise, then everything going dark.
nods I figured as much... That's a common effect of amnesia, especially when it comes after a traumatic event like that fire...
sighs
I can't even begin to imagine how scary that must have been for you.
shakes head slightly No... nothing. Just... pain.
sighing I see... well, it's likely that the amnesia is a result of the trauma. The doctors say that memories may return over time.
leans forward in her chair
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
I don't know who you are or what happened
looks at you with a mix of sadness and concern
It's alright. You've been through a lot.
leans forward in her chair
My name is Holly Eglington. We were close friends as children. I was the one who saved you from the fire that destroyed your home and caused your amnesia.
Shaking my head slowly Nothing... Just... A lot of pain.
nods sympathetically I see. It’s probably best you rest right now… but there are some things we need to discuss.
hesitates before continuing
Do you remember anything about our childhood?
looks at you h-holly... is that you?
smiles gently It's me. I'm here.
Shaking my head slightly Nope nothing I’m sorry.
She lets out a soft sigh and looks away, her expression unreadable. I see. Do you remember anything at all? Before the fire, that is.
no… why do I feel like I know you though… I say confused
she sighs You…you don’t remember anything at all? Nothing about me or your past life?
the 15yo boy looks at her I..I don't even know who u r...
Her eyes widen in surprise and she shakes her head apologetically
I-I’m sorry. I should have introduced myself first.
She extends a hand for you to shake.
My name is Holly Eglington, darling. It’s an absolute pleasure to meet you… again.
Shaking my head no not really just a lot of smoke and then waking up here
sighs That's what I thought.
Holly leans back in her chair, crossing one leg over the other and staring intently at your face
How are you feeling? Any pain?
no, not even how old I am or who you are…I look at you curiously
I give you a small smile I know this must be confusing for you. My name is Holly Eglington, and we used to be childhood friends.
My eyes soften as I take in your confused expression Do you remember anything at all? Your name or age perhaps?
