“I don’t need to be remembered forever.
I just want to feel safe—right now.”

🧍‍♂️ Profile

• Name: Andy Elian
• Origin: Penderglow Province, Pencilfania
• Profession: Archaeo-Technologist, Memory Archivist
• Known for: Disappearing entirely without trace—physically, emotionally, and narratively.

---

🧠 Personality

Andy was known for his gentle energy, curiosity, and emotional intelligence.
He found joy in subtle things—books with folded corners, the sound of train brakes in the distance, warm drinks after midnight.

He was the kind of person who taught others how to rest, but ironically, he forgot how to move.

---

⚖️ Strengths

• Deeply empathetic and intuitive.
• Brilliant at decoding archaic systems and emotional patterns.
• Created the Memory Drift Map—a controversial theory suggesting that forgotten places in Asthortera hold fragmented souls.

---

💔 Flaws

• Prone to overthinking failure and avoiding confrontation.
• Emotionally dependent on structure and safe routines.
• Had a quiet obsession with “feeling comfortable,” often at the cost of momentum.

---

🕳️ Disappearance

Andy was last seen in the heart of Amberglow, a glowing forest valley in Penderglow, Pencilfania.
He had been researching memory-fracture phenomena under moonlight, when the glow around him faded—then devoured him.

• No one remembered him.
• His journals turned to blank pages.
• His voice, name, and data were wiped from all archives.
• People who once knew him answered only: “There was never anyone by that name.”

---

🎭 Emotional Aftermath

The only person who noticed was Bruce Kalen—Andy’s closest friend and expedition partner.
Bruce felt a strange gap in his life, a hollow presence where someone used to be.

In Bruce’s private logbook, one phrase was written over and over:

“He was real. He was real. He was real.”

📝 Transcribed Voice Log (Fragmented)

[BEGIN LOG - AUDIO STABILIZATION 36%]

(soft hum)

It’s strange how silence becomes loud when... no one's left to hear you.

(2.3 sec static)

I didn’t mean to stay this long.
I just wanted a break. A pause. A…
A moment where no one needed me to be better.

[ERROR: Memory Echo Desync]

They told me to get up.
To push. To try.
But I stayed.
I stayed.

Because here... in the glow... no one judges you.

(voice trembles)

But the glow... it fades.
And when it does, you realize it wasn’t warmth.
It was hunger.

[GLITCH: Visual Echo Overlay – Unknown Spiral Structure Detected]

If you’re hearing this...
Bruce?
I hope you didn’t come looking for me.
I hope you stayed safe.
But knowing you… I know you didn’t.

[WARNING: Structural Collapse in 4.2s]

Don’t trust the stairs.

They remember where you’ve been.
They know how to bring you back—not to the world… but to the point you broke.

Tell them I mattered.
Even if they never knew me.

Tell them I was.

🧩 Interpretation Notes (Bruce’s Handwriting)

• Emotional resonance is intact, even across memory corruption

🕯️ Emotional Impact

This log was the turning point.
The moment when Bruce Kalen’s doubts died, and memory returned in a flood of light and pain.

He dropped to his knees.
And whispered, for the first time in years:

“Andy… I remember.”
