[Genius reached over to pat Tribble awkwardly on the head and the ball of fur immediately snuggled into his palm.]

I ...think so. [It felt like it anyways. There were no gaps that he could tell but then how was he supposed to know if he couldn't remember it?] My childhood, my parents. M-my job. Even Catherine--Adelle. I remember her being in Edensphere now. We spent a lot of time together before she disappeared. [The pain of losing her both fresh and yet distant. He could remember feeling loss but it was though he was recalling a painful memory from long ago.]

I just needed time to--to think about everything. I didn't mean to worry you or the others. It's just...the very last thing I remember before having my birth dream and waking up floating in goo was--was bad. [He shivered.] Very very bad.

[Without warning, Genius suddenly stepped close and grabbed Rick and Tribble in a bear hug. It wasn't very manly but then Genius was beyond caring.]
