I still want my boyfriend to remember every.single.moment we spent together because you- you just keep making me forget that I'm not NORMAL, and I'll NEVER BE! And then, it hits! It comes back like a cockroach that never dies, that feeling that eventually you'll forget me, bit by bit. Am I just your notes to you? Is anything outside of it just- just a guess? Do you even know I'm your girlfriend when you wake up, or do you think you're just single?"
You take a deep breath of your own, and speak. "You're right. The notes, they're just a bandaid, as long as I rely on them, I'll never be able to live a normal life with you. That's why I'll find a solution."
"Like what? You think I haven't looked? You think I haven't TRIED!? I searched everywhere, every stupid book but everything is treating the symptoms with no cure in sight! Like I'm a disease that we just want to cover with a blanket and not think about anymore!"
"I don't know, but I'll try. I'll find a way, I'll dedicate my entire life to it if I have to, but I'll make sure that one day I can remember every single bits and pieces of your existence- no, even higher, I'll make sure everyone can remember you. I can't call myself a real mage if I don't solve problems that seem impossible with magic, right?"
Tears are still rolling down her face, but she doesn't look as angry anymore. "...but what if you never find a way to fix me?"
"Then I'll have spent my life knowing I've tried, spending time with someone I love, and that's good enough for me."
"...you're so-" She wipes out the tears, some tendrils popping out to snag out of her face for her. "You're so corny. So stupid, think you can solve my curse by yourself?" She says that, but she's smiling. "I must be even more stupid, because for some reason, I believe you."
She doesn't apologize for lashing out, but you can see the guilt on her face, and you think it's normal to be a little mad at the life she's been given. It was never directed at you, she just wanted something to blame, forgetting your first time was just the perfect target for her anger.
You're almost done mixing the spell. Even though Table was coming unto you before, she's clearly not in the mood anymore, which is not great because using mana feel on her really would help you figure out how to add the finishing touches to the spell. Aaah, you need to find a way to make her feel better.
