Awoken from her nightmare, Yvonne sat dazed for a long time before she crawled off the bed. She then huddled in the corner, crying softly.

Worried that Yvonne might not be adjusting well on her first night, Nina went upstairs to check on her. Hearing the sound of crying from inside the room, she immediately opened the door. When she turned on the light and saw Yvonne curled up, Nina was startled. She gently wrapped her arms around her. "Did you have a bad dream?"

Yvonne nodded.

Nina, out of habit, rubbed Yvonne's forehead. Yvonne paused, confused.

"Did we know each other before?" Yvonne asked softly.

Nina nodded. "Yes, we did. We were very close friends."

Yvonne tilted her head, trying to remember. "We were friends, and you used to rub my forehead like this?"

Pointing to her forehead, she looked at Nina with innocent curiosity.

Nina forced a smile and nodded, tears almost spilling from her eyes. Back when Yvonne was upset, Nina would comfort her this way. Now, Yvonne couldn't remember who she was, but she still remembered this gesture. Was it muscle memory? Whatever it was, now that Yvonne was under her care, Nina was determined to help her get better.
