[As opposed to his usual aggressively sounding network posts, today Grievous has an air of almost melancholy contemplation about him.]

When is it time to cease grieving for something that has been lost?

[Nods!] Aye. I'm going on a decade for losing my father, and it feels like yesterday. An open wound that cannot heal. And I won't let it either.

My mourning has been twice that length. However, the memories... are clouded. It is like trying to grasp at something within a thick fog.

[Respect dude.]

What are they clouded by?

That is my current frustration. I do not know the cause.

[Although he has his suspicions.]

It seems a little more than just time.

Indeed, the memories are actually clearer more recently, yet still muted and out of the reach of pure clarity.

That's... weird.

[Congratulations, you have boggled the pineapple-headed phoenix and that's not easy to do.] Are you part robot, or is that just armor?

My body has been enhanced with cybernetic functions.

[And here is where the problem lies. Some biological parts remain and one - his brain - has been heavily tampered with, much against his will and control - and knowledge. This includes some memories. He's been informed something about it but other manipulation prevents him from questioning it too deeply as yet. Hence his added confusion.]

Guess that's the problem. If it was completely mechanical, I'd tell you to talk to my wife.

Mah, well, she still can help with the memory thing.

But it's gonna be painful, and not a sane rational solution.

I have seen someone here about my condition. I should make another appointment with them to discuss this further.

Your wife is here?

Yes.

She's the leader of the Everglades and made it a safe haven for non-humans. Perhaps you've heard of her? Grell Sutcliffe?

The guardian? I am acquainted with her.

You must be pleased to have the company.

Mm.

Not just that, she's the only person I know won't leave the way the others have to. If that makes sense.
