So yesterday I read all of the posts about UB forgetting the MC long after their death, got really sad, recovered, went to bed, then came up with more scenarios that made me really sad again.
I figured I should spread the sadness around because misery loves company
I imagine A would try their best to repress all their memories of the MC as a defense mechanism
Upon realizing that they’ve just forgotten the last thing they remembered about the MC, they’d probably start an internal monologue along these lines:
A: You’ve finally done it. The last shred of memory you have of the detective is gone. And it hurts just as much as when you found out they passed. Ironic, isn’t it? All this time you’ve been trying to put them out of your mind to avoid the pain of thinking about it, but now that they’ve vacated it for good, it’s unbearable. Why did you ever think it would work? How could you disrespect them like that? After all, they brought you more happiness than what you thought was possible, and in return, you forget their entire existence?
I feel like N would have promised the MC that they would never forget them
I…I can’t remember them anymore. I promised that I would not forget them, but I failed. Again. Just like all those times I failed to protect them, or the time I failed to turn them supernatural. If only I worked harder, then maybe the detective would still be alive…
They were so incredible. They could have picked anyone in the world, but they chose me, and all I have to remember them by is a trail of broken promises…
F would probably be reminded of what they lost when they crossed over from the Echo World
F: First, I lost my friends, family, and home when I fell through the portal. Then I lost the detective. Now I’ve lost my memories of them. What am I gonna lose next? The Agency? The rest of my unit?
The MC is likely going to be M's first love, and that'll probably change them quite signficantly
It’s been so long, the only thing I can remember is that I used to be so different. I can’t even remember in what way, but the cause of the change was them, I’m sure of it. They made me feel things I used to make fun of when I saw them in other people, but now that I’ve experienced them first hand…
The detective changed me, for the better probably, and I’m so grateful that I forgot what they looked like.

Why couldn’t they have been supernatural? They’d still be around and I wouldn’t have to deal with all this crap. It’s so damn unfair.
Sera please let the MC become immortal in some way, I wouldn’t be able to handle the ending otherwise
There’s not really a physical effect in any way. More emotionally stressful and psychologically so, especially for some supernaturals who can’t handle the transistion well!
In that case…if F had been a human, would F have survived the Transition? They’re…really not great at handling emotionally-stressful situations, so…crap, now I’ve made myself sad.
You know, I’m not actually sure There will possibly be discussions of past relationships and things, but I’m not certain N would be comfortable sharing those moments of meaningless indulgence.
@Marceline_Reyes - It just means N has had intimate encounters where feelings haven’t been so much involved. This isn’t because they have or have ever had a mind-set like M, lol! It’s more complicated for N
They’re…really not great at handling emotionally-stressful situations, so…
