Fics like Eight Again

Marina seems the most bothered by your memory loss. She stares at you when she thinks you aren’t looking, but her eyes are far away. When she explains the simulation, Acht seems to understand, but you don’t. You were a fighter, they tell you, not an engineer. You’re still a fighter. You don’t need memories to know how to use a splattershot or an octobrush. At this point, there are three Eights: the octoling soldier, the Deepsea Metro escapee, and this new Eight. All three have put their heads down and pushed until they couldn’t anymore. The Eight you are currently is blanketed on all sides by people the previous Eight knew, but at least they make you feel safe when they smile. Maybe, hopefully, you’ll be able to become the person they remember again—or at least a close approximation. Being that Eight seems a lot nicer than the Eight you are now—which is a Nothing Eight. [Eight climbs and climbs and tries to remember.]
