A/N: I have not edited completely, so sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes if I have any.

Viola

I pull back, "You…don't remember?" I squeak, surprise and shock clear in my voice.

Todd squints at me in confusion, like he is trying to see through a haze of mud, "You…" he pauses again, "You look familiar…but I'm not so sure."

Ben swoops into Todd's line of sight and murmurs, "Todd?"

Todd glances up and his noise spikes loudly, "Ben."

He rips himself from my arms and launches into Ben's where, for a moment, their noise is bundled up and so bright and warm, I have to look away. I sit down hard on one of the moss woven chairs the Spackle make and stare Todd. Hurt and confusion is going through my mind, confusing me to the point I can't make sense of anything. All I know is that Todd, my Todd, who knows me better than anybody else, who I know better than anybody, doesn't remember me.

Todd turns towards me now, askings all over his noise like a whirlwind of hurt, "I'm sorry…but do I know you?" he asks again.

I bleakly nod, not sure what do say. Ben's noise is full of concern towards Todd and me, but it's also full of joy that he has his son back after almost a full three months of waiting, "You don't remember Todd?"

Todd's eyes are bright and confused as he shakes his head, "She looks familiar…how do I know her?"

Ben murmurs something and then he turns towards Todd more directly. He does something that shocks me.

He starts sending pictures to Todd, pictures of me and him. Me on Angharrad, memories of Todd standing protectively next to me, looking like he'd hurl himself in front of a bullet if need be to save me. Todd and I kissing in the tent -though that isn't supposed to have been known- me staring at Todd, full of concern. Todd's eyes are getting wider and wider by the second as Ben rears down full force with these memories, some he shouldn't know, weren't there for, but had them perfectly accounted for.

When Ben is done and running out of memories, Todd shakes his head, "That's not possible…I don't know her." Then he gives me an apologetic look and a shrug, "Sorry."

I stand up, "You don't remember Todd Hewitt?! You don't remember how you found me in the swamp? You don't remember my parents? You don't remember blowing up that bridge with me? You don't remember saving me from Aaron, even if it meant sacrificing Manchee? You don't remember running miles upon miles, just to save me?" My voice is a whisper now, "You don't remember us?"

Todd's eyes are narrowed now, "I remember Manchee, and I remember the bridge, but you weren't there." His voice gets uncertain, "At least…I don't think you were."

I'm suddenly mad, a torrent of rage flowing through me, "Who blew up the bridge? Why would you go headlong into Aaron?"

He is confused now, "I…I…"

Before he can say anything I whirl out of the tent, already choking on tears, trying desperately to stay calm until I got to Angharrad.

Todd

I watch the girl go with a building sense of panic and confushun. I swing my legs around to follow her but Ben stops me, putting an arm 'round my shoulder.

"Do you truly not remember her?"

I nod.

He swallows and mutters to me, "If you do not remember, then somethin' went wrong during the healing process."

I frown, "What exactly happened anyway? I mean, I understand that 1017 shot-"

Ben interrupts me, "How much do you remember?"

I squint for a moment, "I remember the pain, I remember suddenly I couldn't breathe…I remember you and…and…" I struggle now, tryin' to dreg up a name.

Ben was quiet for a moment, before saying quietly, "Viola."

My frown gets deeper, "That girl?"

Ben nods, "Yes. That is who was with me. Along with 1017- I mean the Sky. Though the Sky didn't say nothing at all until you were…" He swallows, suddenly looking tense.

I reach out to him with my noise, not at all sure what to do. So instead of comforting him, I ask a question to distrakt him

"So how come my noise ain't orderly like yers? Like how come I can't speak through it like it's from my own mouth?"

Ben looks at me and then says quickly, "I think that the reason I speak the language of the land is because I'm a natural barrier twixt humans and Spackle. Wilf too. You don't know this, but just after The Sky released the waters on the town, and before Prentiss died, The Sky led an army to the hill where the Answer and some town folk were camped out. I wanted to warn them, so bad that I must have some how created the connection."

I look at my shoes, "I really do know that girl?"

Ben's face is somewhere twixt confushun and worry, "I'd say more than just know her Todd. You two have shared more than one intimate moment."

I look up at him, face glowing pink from embarrassment, "I didn't-?"

He hears it in my Noise and quickly reassures me, "No. Not like that. Not that I know of at least."

My Noise turns grey with relief, "Good." I suddenly remember Angharrad and my Noise is filled with worry about her. "1017 didn't hurt Angharrad, did he?"

"No. Although Viola took her out for a ride. I'll make sure you get to see her whenever they get back."

Suddenly the door to the tent swings open and in walks…

1017.

The Sky.

The Spack who hates me.

Killed me.

1017's Noise spikes from surprise and pleasure to see me awake.

The Knife is awake. He shows, clearly pleased at this, Todd has healed.

To hear my name spoken in his Noise was like a weight being dropped from my shoulders. He bared no visible grudge on me anymore.

Ben's own Noise was kind, but askings clouded up from the middle of it.

He has lost memories. Ben shows. Many memories.

What memories? 1017 asks, concerned.

A whole person. Ben shows and then he speaks, "He's forgotten his One in Partikular. His Viola." His Noise also shows her name. Viola. Lost Viola.

As 1017's Noise spikes with surprise, I think to myself how unnerving this was.

I've lost someone I don't even know.

'Cause...I don't know the girl, Viola. I don't.

Right?
