Part 4: “More Happy Than Not”

Part 4 Summary

“The Day We Start Over”

Aaron is short-listed for a developing reparative procedure to reverse his amnesia in exchange for his participation in experimental science tests. His mother decides they will stay in their home instead of leaving, though they do repaint to clear some old, sad memories.

“The Day I Look Ahead”

Aaron and Eric play video games together. It’s nice and makes Aaron remember the good times they had when their father was away.

“The Day I Move On”

The family cleans out the house, and Aaron finds a bunch of notebooks full of childhood drawings. He enjoys looking at them.

“The Day I Forget”

Aaron goes outside alone to ride his bike where his family can watch him through the window. He’s teaching himself to ride instead of relying on someone else to do it for him. He has some awkward starts; Brendan approaches to help, but Aaron warns him off. He figures it out and rides joyfully, but then forgets and can’t figure out why he’s on a bike.

“Remember That Time”

Aaron plays the memories game he and Genevieve used to play. He fills sketchbook after sketchbook with new drawings, some unfinished because his memory resets itself in the middle.
