Illumination Page #2

---

you've made will have been for nothing.

So, that's why either way

it's a good idea to not approach him.

I don't want to get rid of his memory.

You said that was possible, right?

Well, that poses some

ethical issues.

Reversing the process; that

could put you in a comatose state.

Ethical issues, Dr. Miller?

I've been in love for the past year

and now you're telling me I can't have him?

So now...

And I see his face

to look at me.

I have no idea who I am.

And that's how

I'm supposed to live from now on?

- I'm sorry I-- I can't--

- I trusted you!

You told me I'd be fine.

And, I'm not fine.

If I can't have him...

Don't say it...

...I don't want to live.

There it is.

You have no idea how this feels.

Believe me.

I wish I did.

Replacing my memory with the memories of

having a good guy instead...

...seems like a pretty great deal to me.

My past is something

you don't want to remember.

Let alone live through.

You should be thankful.

I've made up my mind.

Reverse the illumination.

If and only if...

...you take a few more days

to think about it.

Okay?

- Wesley!

- Stephanie...

Hey so, there's a concert in Irvine tonight.

We should go, you and me can... Maybe not have...

I don't think that's a good idea.

I thought we had fun the other night.

We did. It's just my mind's

in a weird place right now, yeah I just...

Okay okay...

You didn't like me, you just said so.

You know, you don't have to

make up some bullshit lie...

...about having this imaginary

girlfriend who you're like it lovely.

- Stephanie--

- Now, just know, just whatever...

I'll miss you.

You probably don't know

what that means.

Take it as a goodbye.

And, if I'm freaking you, I'm sorry;

but, I need to do this for me.

Goodbye Jane.

And, if that's not your real name...

...I'm really sorry for being weird.

Wait...

Goodbye...

I want you to understand...

...that reverse your illumination

could rid you of your own memories.

And could possibly

do irreversible brain damage.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

Then, I need you to relax.

And listen to my voice.

She knew what I was saying.

- Wesley, I'm gonna need you to focus...

- I followed her.

She goes to the same place every day.

What if it was all real?

What if... it was really her?

That's... That's impossible.

I need to find her.

I want you to access every

detail of your illumination.

Every sound, color, smell...

...and begin to let them go.

Your first meeting,

the times you fell his embrace...

...his kindness and one by one...

...let them slip away.

I will count backwards from 10.

And when I reach one,

you will no longer...

...remember Wesley.

I will snap my fingers twice...

...and you will have no recollection

of your elimination.

10...

- I love you.

- 9, 8, 7...

- Happy new year...

- 6, 5...

- 4... - Here?

- 3...

2...

1...

Jane!

Jane!

Wesley...

Do you know my name?

Dr. Clements.

And what is today's date?

In the 10th...

Do you know why you're here?

We were talking and then...

...about like...

I was alone...

And that's all.

Last year...

...I've been really alone.

Yeah.

That's what you were saying...
