899 She's Still My Slave

Jake's pupils narrowed slightly. "Your memories are coming back? Since when?"

The memory of her death belonged only to her Digestor half. She shouldn't have access to it.

Ruby grimaced with confusion, then admitted, "I don't know. The memories are just coming back to me bit by bit since you started questioning me. It's just flashes and fragments of memory so far."

Jake quirked an eyebrow. Back on Earth, he had heard stories of patients suffering from amnesia due to head trauma or brain tumor removal who regained their memories when the damaged or removed portion of the brain recovered. This challenged the idea that memory was simply stored in a particular area of the brain, since when that area was destroyed it could in some cases be restored.

Perhaps the soul worked the same way and that was probably how an Oracle Heal lvl 5 had enabled them to remember what they had done when Psykow's spell had driven them to insanity. It was still very disconcerting, though.
