I've got a really good memory.
[ a pause; it sounds awkward, without context, without framing ]
I don't know if it's a spirit thing, like how I always know what day of the year it is or exactly how many blizzards a place has had since... well, forever. It's like there's all this stuff crammed into my head and you could spend a whole lifetime just sorting it out.
But it's not just the big things, or the Winter things, it's... little memories too. Stupid stuff, like where on the desk the coffee cup was sitting when Pepper told him his "two o'clock" appointment had arrived, or the way he always moved the tip of the soldering iron counterclockwise before putting it back in its holder. I don't know if I'm supposed to keep stuff like that, or if I'm just supposed to forget about it... or if I even can.
