My mom lost her memory.
Her memory is stuck at eighteen, and she didn't remember having a son.
It's quite ironic; she forgot sixteen years of my existence.
Whether real or fake, I thought she must regret having me.
I was disinterested, thinking I should just let her be since it had nothing to do with me.
But the amnesiac version of her kept coming close to me.
I had never seen such a vibrant Anne, making me want to get closer.
She also promised to wake up early and have breakfast with me every day.
I didn't believe it much.
When I was young, she made many promises to me, but most of them weren't fulfilled.
Like when I was six, she promised to take me to the amusement park every month.
At first, she managed, but later it stretched to once every half year, then once a year, and eventually, we never went again.
She promised to cook for me but never even entered the kitchen.
We'll see how long she keeps this up.
But she kept at it, day after day.
I got into a fight at school.
I didn't like Nobel High School and the people there.
I didn't know where they get their sense of superiority, always thinking they're better than everyone else.
But Anne insisted I go there.
She wanted me to study abroad.
She said it's not good here and wanted me to stay far away.
But she forgot that my home was here, and if I left, I won't have a home.
We had a big argument about it.
She cried hysterically and screamed, "You have to go."
I didn't know when her emotions started becoming more unstable.
I was scared of her emotional outbursts; they made her feel distant.
So I compromised.
But every day was a struggle for me.
I didn't want to study, I didn't want to make friends.
I was becoming more and more apathetic.
But they keep provoking me.
I couldn't hold back and hit them.
I thought Anne would be angry.
But she helped me get back at them and even skipped school with me.
So the eighteen-year-old Anne was so bold?
What changed her later? Was it me?
Suddenly, I hoped she never regains her memory.
Especially when she wanted to transfer me to another school.
I felt a sense of relief and happiness I'd never felt before.
But she smashed the piggy bank I gave her.
She thought the piggy bank was hers.
Yes, she only remembers up until she was eighteen.
She forgot that I accidentally broke her piggy bank, and this one is one I saved up money to buy for her when I was eight.
She was happy and transferred the money from before into it.
She said, "This piggy bank will now be Mommy and York's happiness piggy bank. Every time something happy happens, we'll put money in it, okay?"
Back then, I thought this piggy bank would be full in no time.
But in reality, we put money in it less and less often.
The happiness piggy bank has lost its meaning; might as well smash it!
And she's forgotten about it.
