They do, yes. Their memories remain intact.

[soylentprotag]

Why haven't they come again? Does it have... something to do with what we can't remember?

[backspacing]

They had to remember it, so they could remember that I handled the problem.

[That's not quite an answer to his question, but she obviously isn't going to talk about whatever she did. Judging by the memory blanks, though... they'd probably learned something they shouldn't have. It's worrying in various ways.

He's not best pleased with apparently having his mind messed with either, considering how they got here, but he's in no position to say anything about it.]

... Would that happen again, with anything other than the RVs?

[backspacing]

I can't give you the exact scenarios where you might get all of the campers killed.

[She says that, almost sounding annoyed.]

Just exercise caution in the future.

[soylentprotag]

That's not--

[He cuts himself off, closing his eyes for a moment. Okay.

As much as he needs to... somehow make sure this doesn't happen again, in any capacity or in any way, that's not -- completely what he's here for today. Lenka stays like that after he opens his eyes again, quiet for a long moment.

Then he lowers his head, bowing from the waist and all the way down, low enough to stare at his knees.]

Whatever you did, Lance said it took a lot. I'm... sorry for causing trouble. For you and everyone.
