Sure enough, Dick’s photograph, name — everything needed to give him access — was there. And yet, Steve still doesn’t remember inputting any of that information. He has to consider the fact that somehow, this place has been hacked. That Dick is just stalling to keep him here.
And yet.
When Dick brings up the fact that he’s been a friend, that they’d met during a memory glitch awhile back, well, that’s something Steve does remember. Even if his memory of it has been adjusted to take Dick out. So he remembers the idea of seeing someone else’s memory, but he doesn’t remember whose, or what they were. That’s at least something for them to go off of.
And then there’s that very real sounding sadness he hears in Dick’s voice.
“I remember the memory swaps. Someone in the MemoMax facilities had messed up, they’d told us. So somehow, we had other people’s memories put in our heads.”
But Steve doesn’t go past that. He doesn’t say, and I remember getting yours.
