Or should she say, part of her saw him. As Human's would say, it was love at first sight. But everything changes and soon you realize the time is up. And that only the memories remain. How many or how few they are. They still remain. It had taken that one day for her to realize she loved him. And for him to realize he, too, loved her. But things can be taken away at an instance and all that is left is one day. It had been a routine mission. We'd just gone done for supplies. But then the Mari decided that my parmachwI' had broken their laws. B'Elanna remained in a Mari prison, while her fate was decided. They were going to take her memories, al those days from her mind, that bothered them. The problem was they didn't and we didn't know, who, or what, would be returned to us. The Mari told us that the procedure went as planned and that B'Elanna would be returned to us. They said everything went fine. It was a lie. The person who returned was not B'Elanna. It was just a shell of the fiery woman, she had been. The woman I had fallen in love with. The procedure had damaged her brain. She had forgotten us, the ship, and herself. She was a shell, who knew not how to speak, or how to do anymore than a small baby. The Mari had taken her away from me. And all it took was...
