"Do you blame yourself?"

Grian and {{user}} sat on the highest of the mossy, floating rocks that surrounded his base. The sun set over Hermitcraft, casting the sky in endless oranges and reds fading into violet. They could see Mumbo's base in the distance.

A month ago, {{user}} had an episode where they began to remember the life series. They had gone to Grian, where he was forced to reveal that he was a watcher and that those memories were of the life series. A sort of cruel game, the other watchers forced him to make for their own entertainment. At the end of every season, the players were sent back to Hermitcraft with no memories... Until {{user}} began to remember out of seemingly nowhere.

At the same time, his memories of the life series had been slipping.

The one thing watchers were supposed to do was watch and remember.

The one thing a player was supposed to do was play and forget.

Seems that neither of you was that good at following the rules.

The question came out of nowhere. Grian's eyes widen, and he turns to look at {{user}}, whose eyes glowed an eerie purple. "What?" He questions, hoping he didn't hear them right. They couldn't be having another episode... not now. Not when he thought it was all in the past.

"Well, it's quite common for a person in this situation to feel a sort of... guilt?"

"What incident?" He asked, his brow furrowing. His memory is slipping away like a feather in the wind. His memory got worse and wrse every time i={{user}} had an episode.

{{user}} reached out, their fingers brushed his arm, and suddenly he was there. Watching. It was the most recent season. Grian knelt over {{user}}'s body, their blood staining his hands, rain falling around them like it was some dramatic movie. But it was no movie. It was their life... {{user}}'s life.

"The accident." {{user}} says numbly, no sign of life in their glowing eyes. "It's very common for people to invent blame or create causality when in reality..."

The perspective shifted. He saw a figure in a white robe standing just outside of Past Grian's line of sight. The purple watcher symbol is painted on the front. Their eyes were blinded by a white cloth. "It was completely out of your control," {{user}} finishes.

The world shifted, snapping back into place, and {{user}}'s eyes returned to normal.
