Noah,

  I know you’re confused and can’t remember much. Don’t worry, that’s normal for you these days. You’ll need to read your memory back like you do every morning, put your broken brain in order for a few hours so you can at least pretend to function. Don’t do anything until you’ve read everything. You make bad decisions when you don’t remember.
