Hey. Cap'n?
Your name is Captain Trotter. You're in charge of a pirate crew that frequents Vermillion Village. Your right hand is Calypso- you saved her when she got lost in the desert and nearly died. Can you tell me your name?
He knows his name, yes. It's- he remembers. He can hear you, he's real.
He can answer that, that's easy.
He opens his mouth, but all he can feel is the gurgling of his own throat. Magma. Blood. Ash. It sticks to his mouth, sticks to his tongue, burns his jaw, and he can't speak- all that comes out is just silence.
How interesting.
