7 [Accidental Video] Forwarded to 12:45 AM.

[Tom is a perpetual night owl. A shame, really -- but he seems to be in his bathroom, in front of a mirror, head tilted slightly as he presses his fingers against his chest. Something is not right -- and the furrowing of his brow indicates that -- but the question is what.

There is a silence, before Tom murmurs something to himself. It's inaudible, but there is a slight tinge of concern on the very last syllable. His fingers dig into his shirt abruptly and the teenager exhales, forcing his dark eyes to look at himself in the mirror.

It only lasts a moment before he pushes himself away from the sink.

The feed turns off shortly after.]

ooc; Replies will come, icly, after Tom has gone to sleep and woken up -- around 10:00 AM.

You all right?

[Hours later -- Tom clicks on the PCD to respond to the messages. His hair is tousled, he looks a little pale -- sleep deprivation, most likely.]

A new event has started, it seems.

Yeah, seems like it. Timing's right for it.

Do you feel anything out of place?

You look upset. Is there anything I can do?

Do you feel any different?

Different how?

[Pause.]

Something is missing.

[Within his mind. Within his soul. Something is wrong. And he can't think of what it is.]

... the Animus did warn that something was wrong with our memories. I didn't believe them at first, but I found a gap that bothered me. Perhaps the same thing is happening to you?

[Tom pauses, pressing his fingers to his lips.]

What does it feel like, to you, Miss Granger? This gap.

[Hermione frowns in thought, feeling strangely reluctant to speak openly to him but finding no reason not to.]

As though there's something... missing. Nothing's gone, but something is missing. I still know how to read and write and I can remember meeting you here and such, but... there are just... gaps. I look at people and feel as though I should know more about them, but trying to extend my mind's eye makes the entire thing just dissipate.

Precisely.

[It's almost a quiet breath of relief. He is not the only one.]

I find myself with magic, but unable to remember how or why I have it. My tea cup levitated of its own accord today -- and I've performed other such acts, but I don't know how. Or why.

... yes, I'm going through something similar. It's odd, with all the similarities between us even at a time like this, you would think we'd be closer friends than we are.

[Friends.]

A peculiar coincidence, if you choose to believe in such a thing.

Show me what you can do, then, Miss Granger.

... what do you mean?

Tom-san, is everything alright?

[A pause once Tom turns his PCD back on.]

-- something is missing.

Missing? How so?

I feel different.

[Something within his head is missing. Memories. Gone. He can feel them. But he isn't sure how or why.]

This appears to be a rather shared sentiment this week.

It makes absolutely no sense.

[He's frustrated. Cornered.]

Are you also affected by this?

It appears so, yes.

Did you see anything new?

That would depend on your definition of 'new'.

You were looking for something.

There is, as Miss Granger said, a gap.

Do you not notice it?

Of course I did.

[Headtilt. The boy-creature won't remember his own home, now, so there may be a weakness here.]

But you have more gaps that most.

[ -- tch.]

So you claim.

Are you affected by this?

I am.

I do not claim things that are not true, Tom.
