Chapter: 2582

Since he considered Alberto a friend, Humphrey decided to help Alberto regain his memories, but doing this left him uneasy.

This uneasiness stemmed from an indiscernible source, casting doubt on the righteousness of his actions.

Lost in thought, Humphrey recalled a passage from a medical text.

"The human brain is a complex organ. When the body experiences overly painful events, it may selectively forget these negative events to maintain overall health. This condition is known as selective amnesia, also called motivated forgetting."

As he had discussed with Bentlee, Alberto's memory void hinted at external influence and the brain's innate defenses.
