You may have to stop me ^^;

Mmm. When I remembered things-- this may not be a good example, but there was this technology on Amoi called a "skin", you could use it to change the appearance of things. So when I was gifted one that turned my bedroom into a garden the appearance was changed, but... it was still the same four walls, the same bed and furniture. For me, it was like that with my memories?

[furrowing his brow - he barely understands modern tech, he's not convinced he's given a sound analogy at all.]

I would remember my upbringing in Guardian - where children were raised on Amoi; and I'd remember there were other boys with me. But I was never raised with many other children - only my master's son. So I could prattle on about these 'other children' but I could never have told you their names - what they looked like. And then the other way around - I remember climbing up to the rooftop on summer nights and watching the stars, but all of Amoi's roofs are too high to climb to. The shapes are different-- even the sky is the wrong colour.

[glancing down - his familiar has settled on his free hand]

One begins to doubt oneself - which memories are real and which are made up. I would say I pride myself on remembering names and faces-- it was distressing when such things started to fade, and some stayed lost to me even after my memory cleared. [trying for a little levity] Until I came here I still wondered sometimes whether I might be going senile early...!

I'm not stopping anyone, including myself!

Hibari did not remember Namimori. I remember being upset at him for that. But he'd been on Amoi for so long, I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere else took its place to him. I... Thought my parents were split up because they were part of different castes... but I never once saw a child or heard of any children being delivered. Aside from my memories...

[Gokudera hopes his explanation clarifies, considering he knows that he's told Zuko a great deal about Hibari.]
