"I think he said something like 2013 but I could be a year off in either direction, the Foundation kept my phone."

"I see," he says. 

"Did you know that amnestics don't work on you?"

"If you meant the drugs, it seems in keeping with other observations, but I didn't actually know anyone had been so impolite as to try. Was I supposed to turn up at home unclear on where I had been?"

"I don't believe so, but they would have attempted to remove your memory of my name."

"I suppose that's less impolite."

"I would prefer if you didn't share my name, but it's not a major concern."

"Okay, what do you prefer to be called? It'll help tell you apart from the other one anyway."

He considers for a moment.

"This conversation will be more effective if you actually know who I am. I'm O5-3. I don't officially have a name, but I've used Shohei before and you can use that if you'd like."

"What does O stand for?"

"It's just part of the designation. It doesn't stand for anything in particular or if it did, it's been lost to history."

"Okay. Well, it's nice to meet you. My husband no longer thinks I'm crazy."

"I didn't think it very much."

"I would have been disappointed if you hadn't thought it at all, I vanished and came home and told you magic was real." She kisses his cheek.

"Normally new personnel are given some kind of proof, but no one's following any kind of procedure with you."

"It wouldn't be me who'd need the proof, obviously. Is there some trivial thing Ned can interact with, I've been avoiding passing on the memetic ones."

He considers.

"There's one, if either of you happen to have a pen?"

Miranda has a pen.

He draws a cat on the napkin. Its body is filled with an intricate series of small triangles. It takes him several minutes to finish. 

When he's done, he lifts the pen from the napkin and the cat stretches and yawns and curls up into a ball. 

Ned looks at it and doesn't say anything.

He gives him a moment to take it in.

"Is that specific to the cat, or will the triangles animate anything?"

"Any animal, but you have to adjust the design based on the shape of the animal. The cat is the only one I have memorized."

"It's cute. I'm glad there are cute ones. Thank you."

He smiles. 

"Sure. You can keep it as long as you don't put it anywhere someone else could stumble on it."

She puts it in her pocket.
