THE MEMORY



Let me just . . . paste the whole thing . . . .

Jay: *Cough* *Cough*
Solon: How many times do I have to say it before you understand?! You're pathetic! Do not make me injure my hand!
Jay: I...I'm sorry.
Solon: Life isn't so forgiving that you can just apologize your way out of things!
Jay: *Cough* *Cough*
Solon: Never show me such a pathetic sight!

[Jay drops an object on the ground]

Jay: *Cough* *Cough*

[Solon picks up the object that Jay dropped]

Solon: You're still carrying this little bell?
Jay: That's...I...
Solon: I thought I told you to throw it away.
Jay: B...but...this is a clue to finding my family.
Solon: Yes, I'm well aware of that. I'm the one who found you, after all.
Jay: So, that's why I...
Solon: As long as you cling to garbage like this, you'll never grow strong.
Jay: ...Please give it back. It's the only thing I have...
Solon: Who gave you permission to express your opinion?!
Jay: I'm sorry. I'll get it right next time. Please forgive me. So, please. Let me have that bell...just that bell...
Solon: I'll hold on to it until your skills have matured.
Jay: ...But...
Solon: You object?
Jay: N...no, sir...
Solon: I'm glad you finally understand. All you have to do is obey me. There's no need for you to ever shake your head. For what I say is always correct!
Jay: Yes, sir...
Solon: Now, let us be certain about things. When you were on the verge of dying in the dirt, who went to the trouble of taking you in and raising you?
Jay: You did, Master.
Solon: Correct. Then train as if your life depended on it! Make yourself useful to me! After all, even if you did die, no one would shed a single tear!
Jay: Yes, sir...
Solon: An instrument of killing has no need for emotion. You and this dagger are one and the same. Shed your humanity and become as this instrument.
Jay: Yes, sir.
Solon: Good. Good! Ah hah hah hah hah hah!

I. Yes.

WHAT HE LEARNS
+ my family abandoned me??
+ or that was what he wanted me to think anyway
+ also I was even more brainwashed by him than I realized

EFFECTS

He will probably be really subdued and unhappy for a day o so after he takes this. Long-term . . . well, he blames himself a lot. For having loved Solon, for caring about his opinion, for ever being under his sway.

There may also be a spark of renewed interest in eventually finding his (original) family.
