The notebook. His journal. The epiphany caused a jabbing pain against his skull, forcing him to steady himself. He’d completely forgotten it, how he’d pulled it out some six months ago, studying it in the garage to restore lost details. He’d fought off the oncoming headaches, desperate to mine specifics of his missing past. It didn’t work, as if his body didn’t want him to remember. Then sometime during the last few weeks, that moment also evaporated from his brain. Until now.
The journal was a later-round addition. I needed some cheat to add in world-building details and this became a mechanism for including that. As I worked it through the draft, it also made sense for this to become part of Miranda's story, as it represented this dichotomy of lives that she's about to discover.
