[Axel has some day-old bruises and bandages marring his beautiful face, but that's no excuse not to show it off. He has important business to discuss, and what kind of loser uses words to convey his ideas? He tries to keep a conversational tone instead of seeming angry or nervous.]

Hey, so! If anybody else has any crazy accusations about felonies a spectacular guy named Axel may or may not have committed before contracting a tragic case of amnesia, let's all agree to settle whatever grievances there are in a nonviolent way. Please?

Ow my eyebrow...

In better news, though, it's all starting to come back to me! That's right, you're looking at a regular prodigy at recovering from weird memory afflictions. But of course, what else could be expected from...

AXEL, THE DARK HERO?!?

[Yeah, that was a backflip and a dramatic pose on camera.]

I just knew I was intedimensionally famous before I came here. Some things are engraved on a demon's soul! That's technically all I've remembered for now, but as I'm sure some of my legions of adoring fans are in this lousy city, I'll be considerate enough to keep you all updated. Especially when I remember what a Dark Hero does! Axel out!

[1% memories spent, 99% remaining.]

You can't see anything in the darkness.

Exactly.

[Pretending to know what you mean always trumps knowing what you mean.]

[Palom waits for further clarification.]

What do you mean, exactly? How d'you guide anyone in the darkness? Is it your hair? It looks really fake and yellow, like it would glow in the dark.

My hair does not--

Wait, does my hair glow in the dark? That would be a great special effect!

That would be cool! See, you could be The Glow-in-the-Dark Hero, which is way better! And you could make your butt glow and be a firefly!

[Palom has strange standards of cool.]

Uh... how would that be cooler?

Because then you'd actually have superpowers. Duh.

How do you know I don't already have superpowers?

If you did, you'd be bragging about something else besides getting a memory back at the same time a lot of other people did.
