019. Prevention [Voice Post]

Another murder... The beginning of another investigation process to determine the culprit, and the underlying "puzzle."
It is so strange, to witness such a thing as it lacks the involvement of Yako Katsuragi and her assistant. ...If she were here, then how would all this play out, I wonder.

This transformation has given me some time to think, and I cannot account for whether that is such a good or bad thing.

There is no need for me to dwell on the past, since I feel nothing for my own history. It has already been erased. Instead, it is the present and the future that troubles me.
If the timeline of this world is the same as the one that I was brought from, then time is running out. Less than two months... that is all the time that is left. ...What will happen in this world, and how will I be able to prepare for the consequences of it this time?

[A pause] I must not trouble myself like this. Instead, I need to be working harder to do what I can to stop it from happening again. To erase the possibility of starting over without ever having a choice in the matter.


I apologize ahead of time. I know that the timing is most unfortunate with the effects that the contaminated water and the accompanying transformations are having on all of you, but I feel that I must ask for your cooperation.

In spite of any lack of available research materials you may have, I am asking that you share any knowledge that you may have on the structure of the human brain, its chemistry and its ability to process memory. I seek this knowledge in order to prevent an inevitable condition that my partner, Sai, experiences.

His genetic makeup is unstable and constantly changing, and this feature comes with its own consequences. With every change, a piece of what he has learned of a previous event becomes forgotten. He has no choice in the matter, and neither do I. Sometimes not even change is required for a piece of insignificant information to be lost in his memory, which can be a place, time, or a favorite food. The most dramatic experience he has from this condition is the erasure of his entire memory upon the conclusion of a six-month-long period (by my count). He experiences a great amount of mental and physical anguish prior to this moment, and it is unbearable.

I am not asking for a miracle, but for an answer of what countermeasures I can use against this condition. Before I am forced to take matters into my own hands.

... [Sigh]

I hope that a cure is developed for this transformation soon. I cannot play the piano with these hands.

Puzzle?

Man, I don't get really what you're talking about, but I do know that it'd be great if this... animal transformation thing went away really soon!

Unfortunately the lack of research materials also means a lack of treatment options. It sounds like you already know why it happens...a genetic problem. Can you explain that? Why his DNA is unstable? Because it seems to me that these lapses in memory are a symptom of that, so that is what we really needs to be treated.

In the meantime, if Sai is aware of these lapses in his memories, there are steps he can take to at least minimize the damage. Keeping a journal, for example. The recorded conversations he's had with others on these communicators will be a big help if he forgets too much.

You also mentioned that he experiences pain before it happens...how long before the memory lapse does the pain start?
