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!

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.

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.]

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

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

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

[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.

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...
