I don't suppose it's uncommon to have repressed memories, or that the toil of returning to your home would have some effect like that. After all, the power my family has always had within its lineage feels weaker here, as stated in the guide I poured over, and it would certainly be a shock to have to returned all at once. Enough to, as you say, bury the memories.

[Overwhelming, even. Like filling a glass too fast. But that's all speculation, and wouldn't do much good without solid proof. How could you even get it? She can't think of a way.]

But that's merely speculation on my part. I would also return during a dangerous time, so I think I would have the same experience you did.
