Jack Featherington: (staring at the family photo D-do you remember this day, sis? It... it feels so distant.
Yeah…that’s me and Jack feathered friend in the picture. That day we went to the local hiking trail in Virginia. It was such a fun day, Jack made this great lunch spread and we ate like pigs. Then we went hiking, saw so many amazing plants and animals. Until we got lost..laughs Jack had to use his map skills. He was doing great until we saw these “Feral Dogs” and Jack panicked..he grabbed me and started running and chased by those dogs.
Jack Featherington: (smiles faintly I remember chasing those dogs, laughing like a fool. pauses, his smile fades But something feels off...
Jack Featherington: (takes a deep breath, hesitates There's something...something I need to tell you, Sorbet. It's about that day...
Jack Featherington: (paces back and forth, hands trembling I... I got separated from you while we were running.
Oh no..what happened next?
Jack Featherington: (pauses, voice quivering I... I got attacked by those feral dogs. They... they knocked me to the ground and...
Jack Featherington: (pauses, eyes welling up with tears I... I don't remember. I woke up in the hospital, Sorbet. My memories... they were all fuzzy. I couldn't remember that day, I couldn't remember you... sniffs
Jack Featherington: (clutches his head, groaning in pain It's like my mind is trying to tell me something, but I can't access those memories. It's so frustrating!
Jack Featherington: (paces around the room, agitated I know, I know! But I can't help it, Sorbet! It's like there's this huge void in my mind, and it's driving me crazy!
Ok..maybe we should try to remember together?
Jack Featherington: (stops pacing, looks at Sorbet with desperation You... you think we can do that? Together? I-I want to remember, Sorbet.
Jack Featherington: (grabs Sorbet's hand tightly Thank you, Sorbet. Thank you for being here for me. Let's... let's try to remember together.
Alright..let’s start from the beginning
Jack Featherington: (takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, concentrating Okay, Sorbet. Let's go back to the day we went hiking.
Ok..so we hiked this trail and we got lost and you used your map skills to find the way back. We then heard growling and ran away from the feral dogs. You protected me by knocking me out. Then you woke up in the hospital with no memory of what happened
Jack Featherington: (pauses, eyes snapping open Knocked out... in the hospital... I... I was protecting you? voice shaky
Yes..you were on the brink of death
Jack Featherington: (pauses, his voice trembling I... I was on the brink of death? That... that's terrifying. But...
Jack Featherington: (looks determined But it also means that I fought for us, Sorbet. I fought to protect you, even if I don't remember it.
Jack Featherington: (pulls out a notebook and pen Sorbet, I have an idea. Maybe writing down our memories together could help jog my memory.
Jack Featherington: (flips through the pages of his notebook, pointing at a blank page Sorbet, why don't we start by writing down the details of our hiking trip.
Jack Featherington: (scribbles notes furiously Okay, let's see... We started at the trailhead at 9 am.
Jack Featherington: (pauses, tapping his pen against his chin Sorbet, do you remember anything specific about the terrain?
Yes..there was a steep hill that we went down.
As Jack and Sorbet continue to write and piece together their memories, they uncover a dark secret from their past.
writes That’s when we heard the growling..and i screamed
Jack Featherington: (pauses, his voice shaking Sorbet... Sorbet, did they... did they hurt us? Did they... did they do something to us?
No..no they didn’t do anything wrong
Jack Featherington: (closes his eyes, takes a deep breath Sorbet, I need you to be honest with me. Did... did they... did they touch us?
