"I…" Amelia trailed off. "I never knew," she admitted.
"Yeah, we figured," Ronan replied, rubbing the back of his neck. "When you first joined us, it seemed like you didn't even remember him. I thought maybe it was because the ordeal happened so long ago― it had to be at least two decades back, right? But then we realized it's more than that."
"I don't remember this one bit," Amelia said.
If it was something so intense as calling the cops and attempting to rescue a fellow kidnapped child, Amelia doubted she would forget such a thing even if she was a child when it happened. That would've been a core memory growing up.
"Your brain might've rejected and erased the memory," Ronan said. "It's not impossible― fairly common, even. It might've been such a traumatic memory that you just forgot about it naturally."
