[The plants in his line of sight fade out of view as his gaze grows distant and furious at the reminder.]

I'll kill him . . . No matter how many memories I lose . . .

[He won't forget this anger. He will never forget.]

[misstrust]

[ Oops.

Dorothy wisely does not ask what if he loses the memory of wanting to kill whoever this is, because that would be a stupid question.

[Movement in the corner of his eyes snaps him back to reality. Dorothy. Rufus closes his eyes, then opens them.]

Our business has concluded.

Excuse me.

[He turns away to leave.]

[misstrust]

[ She won't stop him. ]

Thank you, for sharing with me.

[ Be on your way, Rufus. ]
