The Peacock 1884

"The first several weeks you were here, Amaris, you spent a great deal of time sleeping.  Then Peter found his way to us. He was then named Stefan.  Do you remember him?" "He took care of me.  He didn't drink the water.  I actually warned him not to.  And he was so good to me, cooking for me, cooking for us, because another man came to us, a very handsome man, blonde, and like me, completely lost because he had drunk the water of forgetfulness.  And Stefan stayed with us and cared for us.  And just now, it is all coming back to me.  He was the last client I dealt with before I vanished.  I was in a restaurant being interviewed by a journalist, a middle aged woman, named Pamela, or Persimmon, or something like that.  Then Stefan came in, broke in on the interview and began lambasting me for all the horrible things I was doing to him and others in the name of saving money for the government.  I left in a rage, and shortly after got a call from my friend in Victoria so the next day, I booked off from work, lying about a family emergency, and went to Victoria, and then it all happened."
