"Couple times. Sometimes, if I'd just touched someone, my head'd get all mixed up 'n I wouldn't know who I was. Their thoughts 'n memories would be at the surface, 'n my own would get shoved down 'n blocked out." She chewed the inside of her lip for a moment, warring with herself. That stuff couldn't happen anymore- she had no powers here, and Ned had nothing to do with her former life. But the thing was, it was a big part of her, now, and as much as she decidedly didn't want to, she felt as though he ought to know.
She wasn't going to keep secrets and bury her head in the sand. Not this time around.
"'n sometimes, I'd just... forget. An old memory, the residue of someone I'd absorbed- touched- would just push its way up. I wouldn't even know, I'd just think I was someone else until my- my self could fight its way back t'the forefront."
