Summary
“Because of that head injury,” Sanson said, staring at the clouds they were passing, “I have…a hard time remembering things. Big details are fine but it’s little things. It’s like they slide right off my brain, no matter how hard I’m trying to hold on to them.”
Following a concussion during a Twin Adder mission, Sanson's short-term memory is not what it use to be. But he's figured out how to live with it – he keeps a journal to ensure he doesn't forget anything important.

Summary
Estinien has spent years struggling to find the key to being 'normal', continually failing to understand why everyone else places such emphasis on sex. His lack of desire for full intimacy doesn't mean he has no wish for touch or affection, but his inability to go farther has already cost him one relationship with a man he loved with all his heart. He has no reason to believe a second attempt will end any differently, but he doesn't want to spend his life alone.
G'raha certainly can't empathize with Estinien's plight, but he does understand what it's like to be alone and untouched for far too long. If they can offer each other a solution for their mutual touch-starvation, he sees no reason not to indulge themselves. It doesn't take much of soaking in Estinien's affection before he has to admit that this is no longer a merely friendly exchange. He's willing to make sacrifices and compromises, if it means they can be together.
The biggest obstacle they face might not be Estinien's refusal to engage in sex, but rather his refusal to believe in the possibility that they can last.
