It looks like everyone's remembering things today! I got to remember more about the girl who saved me when I was little. Her name's Maria, and she grew up to be a doctor. And now she's a paramedic, so probably she's out there saving people's lives right now! That means my dad's a doctor, my brother was going to be one, and the person who rescued me all those years ago - they're all doctors! It's really funny, how that happened.

[She giggles.]

It's also a little bit weird, though. I know she's a doctor, but I don't know how I know. I haven't seen her since I was little and the last thing I remember Dad and I live out of the country now. So maybe Dad finished his research and we got to go back? I hope that's it. I really would have liked to go out and get to meet people again...

[And that's where she freezes up for a second, because while she knows what happened it probably sounds weird to everyone else! She's gone on long enough anyway.]

Um, sorry. Never mind that. Have a nice day, everyone!

You okay over there, Rozy?

[healeveryone]

Yeah! I'm fine. I just started talking about some weird things, that's all.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Ooh, yeah, I know how that is! I mean, it'd be like me talking about the one time I really really wanted this dress, but Dad didn't want me to have it. So I screamed my head off like crazy until he finally bought it for me, but he made me feel really megas guilty about it afterwards, so I --

Right, exactly like that.

[healeveryone]

Y-yeah.

[Rosalia laughs, like the whole thing is funny.]

Everyone's acting like this, huh? I wonder if something's going on.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Probably just another one 'a those weird thingies that rolls through ever nows and again. It'll probably pass soon enough!

...Hey, I wonder how many crazy secrets we can pry outtas people during alla this? Aw, that'd be megas rude, though, even if it would be kinda neat to knows that stuff.

[healeveryone]

I don't know, I wouldn't like to do that. What if people really didn't want others to know?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

I guess that's true. I dunno, I just can't help but admit I'm kindas curious! But at the same time I don't really wannas makes people unhappy over it, ya know? Maybe we should just talk to people about reaaaaaaally boring stuffs all day!

[healeveryone]

But then that'd be boring for us! There's got to be more things we can talk about that don't involve secrets or anything.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Oh, I know! We could ask everybody what their favorite ice cream flavors are! Then we can know for sure if we decide to have a big ice cream party! Hahahaha!

[healeveryone]

I like the sound of that! It'll be summertime in a few months, too. That's a good time to have ice cream, right?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Exactly! This isn't the best plan ever, but it sure is an awesome one! Hahahahahahaha!

[trustycrowbar]

Your dad was in medical research, huh? 'S a good field, if you can handle the work...

[healeveryone]

He could! Dad was a really good doctor...and a good teacher, too. I think he's why my brother decided to study medicine, too.

[trustycrowbar]

Y'know... I remember someone else in that family saying at one point that she'd like to learn to heal people too. Did he spend any time teaching you?

[It takes more than a doting father to make a doctor, but it's got to start somewhere.]

[1/2]

[healeveryone]

Sort of. Dad taught me a little bit, when he was researching the thing in my blood, but--

[2/2]

[healeveryone]

[And that's when she stops and assumes the deer-in-headlights look.]

...Oh. I didn't mean to mention that.

[trustycrowbar]

[He halts.]

Hang on, what thing in your blood, Rose?

[healeveryone]

Um...

[Yeah, not a conversation she wanted to get into.]

Dad found out my blood was special after he adopted me. It contained a virus, he said - and it was really dangerous alone, but I had the cure inside me too so I was okay.

[Despite the fact that she's obviously a little uneasy about the subject, she smiles. Her dad always makes her feel like that.]

I don't think it's there anymore, though. As soon as I remembered that about myself I went to the hospital to try and find out more, but...it looks like it's gone. I don't know why.

[trustycrowbar]

--that's pretty incredible. Bloodbourne pathogens don't normally just vanish like that--I mean, uh, that makes you a very special case indeed, Rose.

[healeveryone]

I know enough to know that! I think Dad might have succeeded in his research, and it got the virus out of me or something. I don't remember yet, but that would explain how I got to see that girl again. And I wonder if I ever got to see my brother again, too...

[wontdieifkilled]

...Huh? That was kind of abrupt.

[healeveryone]

Was it? Sorry. I just didn't want to keep talking about any old thing in front of everyone. Not that there was anything bad to say, but still...

[wontdieifkilled]

Yeah, but that just draws more attention to it.

[healeveryone]

Oh...oops. I didn't think of that.

[wontdieifkilled]

Well, what's done is done. Don't dwell on it, okay?

[healeveryone]

Oh, I guess you're right. Um, so how are you doing today?

[wontdieifkilled]

Oh, I'm doing fine. I feel pretty well-rested, which I haven't been for the past few weeks.

[healeveryone]

Why, did something happen?

[wontdieifkilled]

It's all these people trying to be supervillains. I've had to stop a lot of them.

[healeveryone]

Oh, those guys.

[A sigh.]

I wish they'd stop causing trouble. Did they hurt you?

[wontdieifkilled]

No serious injuries. They mostly just tire me out.

[healeveryone]

Oh, good! Maybe they'll get tired someday, too...where are they even coming from?

[ video ]

[overwinters]

You know a lot of doctors, don't you..? [ blink blink. ]

[ video ]

[healeveryone]

Yeah. Funny, huh? All of them must know so much!

[ video ]

[overwinters]

Hmm. It means that if you'd ever get hurt, you would have a lot of people around to help you.

[ video ]

[healeveryone]

No, just Dad...but he's a really good doctor, so that's okay!

[ video ]

[overwinters]

But it's even better if it's your father! Family is important, after all, isn't it..?

[ video ]

[healeveryone]

Uh-huh! I really love my dad.

[ video ]

[overwinters]

I can't remember my family yet, but.. my mother is in this place, so I want to hurry up and remember.

[ video ]

[healeveryone]

Wow, your mom's here?

[ video ]

[overwinters]

Hmm, I'm glad she is! [ and the girl smiles widely. ]

Have you seen her before? She has really pretty long white hair..!

[ video ]

[healeveryone]

I'm not sure if I have! But I'll be keeping an eye out for her now. I'm kind of jealous, I wish I could talk to my dad again.

[ video ]

[overwinters]

Who knows, maybe he might arrive here one day too, right? [ hmm.. ]

Besides.. I'd like to see my father too, even if I can't remember him at all.

[ video ]

[healeveryone]

Oh, that'd be nice! So there'd be you, and your dad, and your mom...do you have any brothers or sisters, too?

[ video ]

[overwinters]

.. I don't remember that either, but.. [ she huffs and then puffs out her chest a little. ]

I'll do my best to remember soon!

[ video ]

[healeveryone]

Hey, good luck! I hope you remember. I got to remember my dad and my brother at the same time...I didn't know much about them at the time, though.
