We are walking down cave pathway, and orb is floating over our head all along the pathway, lighting our way. Xifeng is leading me past room filled with girls who are cleaning their guns and checking their ammo and other room where synth is connecting to external hard drives that Xifeng is collecting before we are being reunited, and synth is downloading rememberings onto hard drives, and I am thinking about how things used to be with me and Xifeng. I am thinking of how it was just us and the Enyemakas, and I am thinking of riding in a boat with Xifeng and how quiet the night is being in Lagos Lagoon when we are arriving in Makoko neighborhood to be delivering remembering. And I am remembering that we are small small group and even though there is no blue or red or other color shading the remembering like there is being with the ones that is not belonging to me, it is feeling like a different lifetime ago when I am doing these thing with Xifeng. Even though we are walking past that room fast fast, I am seeing that already external hard drive is filling entire walls.

“It makes me happy to see you with the children like this,” Xifeng is saying suddenly.

My heart is heating when I am hearing her call us children.

“You are becoming your own people.” Smile is spreading on her lips. “Growing from your memories.”

“We are organizing them,” I am telling her with excitement in my voice. I am truly feeling like child because word is moving from my mouth faster than I can think it. “Oluwale and Uzodinma are teaching me how to be organizing my memories based on what color they are being shaded in and who is appearing in them. And like this we are knowing which memories belong to us and which are being implanted and belonging first to others. And I am thinking that this is what is making us to be our own people.”

Smile has faded from Xifeng’s face, but I am telling from how she is walking that it is not because she is sadding or angering but that she is simply thinking.

“You’re so special” is all she is saying to me as she puts her hand to the back of my head and draws me close to her.
