Does anyone know of any way to erase specific memories?

[deadwenwalking]

Have I upset you?

I apologize, young master.

[jinlingers]

No... I'm not upset.

Just... it's frustrating that no one shares any of my memories of the last months.

[deadwenwalking]

I'm sorry...

Are you from a time further in the future?

[jinlingers]

Maybe... At home, I'm from after the Temple but then I was in Hell for months and you were there for a while...

[deadwenwalking]

Hell...?

[Why would Jin Ling be in Hell? Wouldn't he have to die for that? And even so, had he truly committed enough sins at his age to be brought there?

And how had he been there too? Perhaps he wasn't speaking of an actual afterlife.]

I'm sorry... I don't recall any of that. But I'm sure you didn't deserve it.

[jinlingers]

[ Things are complicated, aren't they? ]

Yes, Hell... You shouldn't have been there.

[ But Jin Ling still thinks he had deserved it, still does. ]

You don't need to be sorry about it.

[deadwenwalking]

I shouldn't have... You shouldn't have!

[He's just a kid! He hasn't even killed anyone.]

Well - you're here now. And I won't forget anything that happens here. Not if I can help it.

[jinlingers]

I... deserved to be there. But it doesn't matter now, yeah.

[ Jin Ling exhales. ]

Okay.

[Wen Ning has to remind himself that Jin Ling is a teenaged boy, bound to take things to heart in ways that someone just a bit older might not. He probably blames himself for things that aren't his fault, and right now isn't a good time to get onto him about this.

He'll just have to offer his support while they're here.]

You can also call on me if you need anything. I should be easy to reach here!
