You'll remember when you use it again. Sometimes other things become more important at the time.

That seems a little too convenient for my tastes.

Convenient, or useful? The brain is a wonderful tool.

How is it useful?

What you need is stored in there. You don't forget things, you don't need to relearn them, it's all there.

( Almost mechanical in a way. It's nice, for not everything to be so different )

It's fascinating how you work.

Excuse me?

I'm quite sure my memory isn't eidetic.

But you don't lose your skills if you don't use them in a while. There's more stored up there than you might know.

Probably. But memories - human memories are different. They fade.

But not all are lost surely. Do you remember being a child?

A little. I try not to think about it too hard.

Surely remembering that proves it? That your brain is capable of such great storage. That you can recall things even from so long ago.

Honestly, the less I remember my past, the better.

You're missing the point. It's the fact that you can do it, it doesn't have to be that specific moment.

You sound like you don't have those kinds of memories.

My memories work differently to yours. I don't have to worry about forgetting.

You didn't answer my question though. It sounds like you didn't have much of a childhood.

I was never a child.

[ He blinks. ]

Then what were you?

[ Though what are you seems more appropriate. ]

What I've always been. A woman.

Forgive me if I don't seem fully convinced.

You don't have to be, I've got nothing to prove.

That sounds tough in its own right.
