Memories of Home

"He's not on any sort of records." The doctor tells Ethan. "We're not sure where he came from."

"Really?" Ethan asks, "Well this is a predicament. What about his well-being?"

"He's mostly healthy outside of a few scrapes and bruises." The doctor says, "But his memory isn't intact. He must've taken a hard hit."

"I see... Well what can I do?" Ethan asks.

"You can help him get accustomed to the city if you want. But unfortunately without any records, he can't stay here much longer." The doctor says.

"Okay." Ethan says. He then walks into the hospital room. "Hey." He says to Jack.

"Oh, hey. This place is odd to me. I'm so unfamiliar with it all." Jack says, "But thank you for bringing me here to help me."

"No worries." Ethan says. He looks at his wristwatch. "Argh! I'm gonna be late!" He looks back at Jack, "Guess you'll have to come with me."

"Huh?" Jack asks, "What? Where?"

"I have work. And you can't stay here." Ethan says, "So you'll need to follow me."

"Ehm... Okay." Jack says as he stands. Ethan gets Jack checked out of the hospital and the two leave. It takes time, but a bus rolls around. Getting on, the two sit side by side near the back. To Jack, the world is still so unfamiliar. But when he tries to question why, he is unsure. This 'bus' they are boarding is especially unfamiliar to him. On the bus, Ethan pipes up.

"Hey." Ethan says, looking over at him from the window seat. "Do you not have a single recollection of where you came from? That loud bang I heard sounded like you fell from the sky. Hehe..."

"I'm... Not really sure." Jack says as he fiddles his fingers.

"Well, do you remember any minuscule detail?" Ethan asks, "That could at least help narrow it down a tad."

"I remember..." Jack says as his left hand is placed on his chin. "I remember living in a distant place. I'm completely unfamiliar with anything here. I don't know why though."

"I've noticed. You've been looking at everything like it's alien technology." Ethan laughs.

"I don't remember anything like this. You called it a bus? It feels so different. And this city. These towering buildings and structures. Buildings I seem to remember never stood so tall." Jack says.

"Ah. So do you remember some things?" Ethan asks.

"I remember.... A castle? And boats in a harbor. I seem to remember some of my family... My father wore a crown." Jack says, and Ethan seems in disbelief.

"What...? Like a king? Castles?" Ethan asks.

"I suppose. Why? Is it that odd?" Jack asks him.

"A bit. Castles haven't been a big thing in centuries. Even now, they're mostly just regulated to historical sites or ruins." Ethan say, "Any other family you remember?"

"A sister... Twin I think. And a younger brother." Jack says.

"Huh. Honestly not getting much from you." Ethan says, "But don't worry. You can stay with me for a bit." As he says this, the bus begins to pull up to their destination. "This is our stop."

"Oh, okay." Jack says as the two stand and exit. They then walk up to a building that they enter. They walk up some stairs and enter a room at the end of a hall. The room is Ethan's apartment, and it's rather cramped. Clearly meant for one person.

"So, this is my pad." Ethan says, "Not too big, but it's home. For now."

"Wow. I remember living in a very spacious place. This is different." Jack says.
