Doctor said it was memory loss—some brain rattle from the hit. Temporary, supposedly. So I went full nostalgia tour, dragging him back to all our spots, hoping something would click.

I looked down at the test results—zero issues. Everything normal. And that's when it hit me: you can't help a faker.
