I went exploring the manor, managed to sneak inside the basement. Place was guarded by dudes most days, but I remembered one of mom lessons about sleeping herbs and snuck an incense in there during the day.
Guys fell asleep, had to wait a while for the smoke to get gone. I had to go there because <span class="mu-s">Helen disappeared.</span>
Down there was the only place I couldn't go, so I did.
It was dark and scary, but I had to find her: heroes and knights master their fear and make allies of the darkness.
Wide open space, dark blue light, and I saw Thibault down there. Something else was there, a big thing hidden in the dark. <span class="mu-s">It sang quietly.</span>
Then I... I dont remember. I woke up in my room.
I forgot Helen. I. Forgot. Helen. I FORGOT HELEN.
Reading my journal made me remember who she is, where she is, what she liked, why she worked but.
When I went into that basement, there's a hole in my head.
When I asked my mom about hiring Helen she told me. Who is Helen?

You take a cloth to wipe your sweaty forehead and armpits despite the comfortably cold temperature in your room.
<span class="mu-i">I'm no expert on souls, but I know that memories are tied to it. This sudden hole is only possible with foul play, a disease or... the influence of an Outsider. Only something like that could create this anomaly.</span>

Thibault spoke to me before I left. I knew. I knew he is evil. His eyes, calm darkness in there.
Told me my mother will be his wife soon. He hopes I won't return in the basement. I forgot to ask about Helen back then, but he knew.
He does things in the village. Mamonos speak in whispers. Gonna see for myself.
Where is Helen?
--
<span class="mu-i">Thibault wants to marry Augustine?</span> This is the past; he's clearly changed his mind since, but to say it to the boy himself? <span class="mu-i">Bad taste.</span>

I will have to bring my journal to reread. I keep forgetting Helen when I go outside, when I do my days. Today I went to the village, made friends with the adults over there but... <span class="mu-s">I forgot Helen.</span> Mom also forgot her.
I will pray in the chapel tomorrow with my book. After that, I will go learn who she was.
...
Found Helen sister, found her last name. Helen Takara. Helen Takara. Her sister is a super cool blue girl.

By the grace of the Good Mother, you avoid knocking your knees on your table as you jump to your feet.

She doesn't remember Helen, I... was too scared and sad to make her remember. Like, how awful would it be to know you have or had a sister? Now you can't find her? Can't even remember her?
She's helping a cute fluffy insect Mamono, who's been sick for a while. They need help, doesn't want to admit it, but they do.
I'll ask. No. Mom needs to help, doctors shouldn't be human only.
