"Chris?" Xing Han said, "So who was he? What was he like? What did he look like?"

Kyle shrugged. 

"I don't remember," Kyle replied.

"Huh?"

"As Kylie, I suffer from alcohol blackouts,"* Kyle revealed, "I forget everything whenever I am drunk. The last thing I remember was coming here, downing a few drinks and then ... the next morning. He was gone."

Kylie had a drinking problem, though she didn't think it was serious. She simply drank a lot to help her tide the days, and when her spouse wasn't around or not interested. 

Such heavy drinking caused her to have these blackouts. It didn't mean that she fainted, but rather, she just could not remember anything at all. She was conscious and even appeared rational, but retained no memories. 

Kyle sighed.

The guilt ate at him because of that night and he finally stopped drinking because of it. He had also been more tolerant of his spouse and inattentiveness.
