12:05 – A nurse came as soon as I woke up. She brought me lunch. She told me… what? I don't remember.
12:10 – Don't believe what I just wrote. I was asleep all day long… for several days, maybe. But now I assure you I am awake. Having lunch now.

12:40 – Now perfectly awake. Who has been writing on this log, I wonder? The handwriting looks exactly like mine.
YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM SEVERE AMNESIA. YOU HAVE A MEMORY SPAN OF JUST A FEW MINUTES. SORRY. – OK, that wasn't me. It definitely was a doctor. Dr Green, I believe. I hadn't met him before. Dr Black, I believe. Why does he write on my log?
