The concept of Eva Stratt eventually developing dementia.
She forgets what day it is, then what week, then whay month, and eventually what year. It's almost like when she was in prison and time just blurred together and everything hurt.
She forgets her prison neck tattoo. She forgets ever going to prison at all. Why is there a mark on her neck? She asked one of the staff what it meant once but it slipped her mind afterwards. She forgets her own name but she Knows that she has no one. Not even a dog. She forgets how old she is.
However her bones, her muscles, her nervous system do not forget Project Hail Mary and being Dictator of the World. Having to race to save the world over and over again for a reason that she only half-remembers. She asks after Dr Grace when she forgets.
There is a man who works in the care facility* with brown-blond hair and blue eyes who wears funny socks (even if she would never tell him she found them funny. It would be deeply unprofessional and an affection that she cannot afford to give) and is constantly misplacing his glasses. She calls him Dr Grace sometimes. He is Dr Grace sometimes. Other times she calls him the name that's on his badge. Big and yellow like Grace's raincoat is. Was. He almost always brings her good coffee.
She tells him that she is sorry and that she did what must be done and would do it all again tomorrow. Today, in three hours. She forgets.
*idk if Stratt would end up in a care home (or even make it to old age at all but 🤷🏻♂️) with others or if she would be on her own but with carers coming to visit her instead
