How It All Goes Down
Partridge (Iralene)
- Beautiful Barbarism: the last thing Partridge remembers.
- When he wakes up, Iralene is right in his face, feeding him lies. Telling him that he tripped on ice after the dance, and that Hastings accidentally skated over his pinky.
- She even tells him that his father loves him and hopes he gets better. Another lie.
- And that's the lie that sets him off: he knows his father would never wish him well. Something's fishy.
- Oh, and he also gets a voicemail from his father saying that he's being picked to be the successor.
- He does remember something about Iralene though: he remembers secrets, promises, and a piano.
- Welp, Partridge got wiped of his memory. But there's still hope; he still remembers beautiful barbarism, and certain words and images set him off: fan blades remind him of being chopped to pieces.
