1 week had passed and your heart grew heavier each day that passed and you'd never felt more alone. The shadow in exchange for allowing all of you to live, and leave was to make everyone who had come to the island with you forget you.

You still remember everything, even though you wished you could forget. You wished for darkness to swallow you whole. But you couldn't. Even though everyone there had forgotten you, you were very much remembered by everyone here at headquarters. When Grount had been told what had happened he'd come to your room and hugged you tightly.

"I'm sorry Y/N! I'm so sorry! What can I do? Please tell me! How can I help you?"

His voice had been desperate, upset and angry. Angry at what you weren't entirely too sure. You let him hug you though, and you hugged him back.

"You're already doing it and that's enough."

Grount had shaken his head but said nothing more.

Currently you were sneaking into Koby's and Helmeppo's bunk. They'd been attending required psychiatry visits along with everyone else who had been apart of the mission. While they were there, you were gathering all evidence of your relationship with Koby. He would just be confused as to why he had photos and gifts from a girlfriend...that he no longer remembered.

That was the worst of it. Even worse than Saphi's death, your lover and friend forgetting you altogether. Meeting you, talking to you, defending and protecting you, falling in love with you, making love to you, talking with you. All of it. He'd forgotten all of it. And there was no way for him to regain his memories. The shadow had said it had to be a life long thing for it to spare the lives of everyone.

Once you placed everything in a box, you used your observation haki to check for anyone coming, when you sensed no one, you quickly ran and went into your room. You were to be back to duty in a couple of days, but you had a meeting with the Fleet Admiral before that. You quickly dressed in your formal attire, put on your best neutral face, and walked to his office. Yoru, quickly flying to your shoulder. You eyed him, and wanted to cry all over again. Like you silently had that night when Koby had treated you like he did when he met a stranger in need of help. Friendly and professional.

"Miss! Miss! Are you okay? Quick! We need a medic." He cradled you in his arms and your heart clenched. He did a quick check of your body and winced when he saw your bruised rib cage. "What or who attacked you?"

"Please, go see to Saphi! She's dead!"

"Captain Saphi? How do you know her? What do you mean she's dead?"

"She protected me...cough cough!" You started to cough up blood, and the pain was immense! He cradled you closer, and you wanted to cry because he wasn't holding you like a lover, but a concerned marine looking over an injured civilian.

"Miss are you one of the people here we were sent to rescue."

"My name is L/N Y/N. I am a doctor for the marines. I am also a soldier rank Major General, my military ID is A-S-4-3-7-9-1-Z. I was sent here with you."

His frown grew deeper, and he began to carry you to the warship. While everyone else attended to Saphi.

When you both arrived at the ship, he took you to your infirmary. When you began to call out instructions to him he seemed to be in a daze, but still did as you said. After giving yourself some quick first aid, you sat back on your bed and let your head hit the boards.

"Miss. I'm sorry but I am having a hard time believing you about who you are."

"Call Vice Admiral Garp if you don't believe me."
