She felt an alarming rush of adrenaline course through her as her lost memories came flooding back. The emotions she had remembered now seemed as if they had been muted by comparison. The onslaught of recollection subsided very quickly in terms of literal time but it felt much longer to Pet than a couple seconds.
The memory of what had happened when she found him almost sent her squirming out of her chair and onto the floor in humiliation as it returned to her. Now the feelings all made sense, she really wish she hadn't remembered, worse still she'd walked in as though she wasn't responsible for... For... He was in a wheelchair because of her. Was it permanent? She felt she should say something, to at least acknowledge what she'd done, but what could she do but apologize? No amount of apologizing could make up for this, even if it was only temporary!
With a great deal of effort, Pet managed to just about push down the worst of her emotions so she might get through the interview without making a completely fool of herself. Despite everything he likely remembered everything from that day and yet he'd invited her back and given no indication that he felt any kind of malice towards her and that was what she had to keep reminding herself.
It was difficult to navigate her the memories at first but she forced herself to concentrate and sift through the "new" information. There were brains and people panicking. She remembered noticing people who weren't panicking but acting contrary to those around them. One person in particular looked as though she ought to be staring out over a vast, sumptuous library (at least in Pet's opinion) when the reality was mayhem and carnage. If it were only that one person then she could have dismissed it as an anomaly but she'd taken note of various oddly behaving individuals. The obvious culprits were the rogue brains and this much he was seemingly confirming for her. "Perhaps... Possibly hallucinations?" Perhaps in a similar way to a boggart they were being shown fears but also pleasant things.
