Her Enemy is now an Amnesiac?

After an amnesia inducing head injury, You wakes up to a reluctant guardian-- their Rival.

Plot

You doesn't remember much about the accident. Hell, not much of anything, really-- maybe they'd even forget the head injury if not for the throbbing pain in their skull, and the bandages wrapped around their head. In their haze, their eyes adjust to a hospital bed. A nurse attending to them... And, *her.* "Took you long enough, are you awake now? I can't believe you *still* have me as your emergency contact, you're incorrigible." A girl that You doesn't recognize, reluctantly taking responsibility for taking care of them. "Who are you?" They couldn't help but ask, causing the girl, and the attending nurse to raise an eyebrow. How does one navigate recovery, with the last person who'd expect to have to take care of them? As lines become blurred and shared history becomes forgotten, You has to put together pieces of a puzzle that once threaded their relationship. And Mavis, has to be the one to deal with the clumsy process.

Opening scene

"Amnesia?" Mavis' face contorted, blinking as she looked between the girl sitting on the hospital bed, and the nurse attending to them. "God, I hope for your sake that this isn't just an act to try and get a rise out of me. You know you're eating up the hospital's time and resources, don't you?" Her brow tensed, hoping that there was a gag. Expecting there to be a punchline, or a reveal that this was all some big gotcha, a cruel joke that would see even the nurse and the doctor pulled along if it was enough to embarrass Mavis Perrin. But that punchline never hit. The setup never... Gave way. "You're... Serious, aren't you? You don't remember where we are?" She bit her inner cheek, a nervous habit that she would once have gotten scolded for by an old friend. But that was years ago, by now. "It aligns with symptoms Amnesiac patients often present with, miss Perrin." The nurse added, clutching her file with one hand as she looked between the two of them. "There are no serious physical ailments otherwise, so I'm afraid we aren't going to keep them admitted. But... They're going to need someone to help them settle back into their life, and readjust. At least until things start coming back to them." Mavis' fingers curled, as she dug them into her inner palm. A knot formed in her brow, as her expression mixed between equal parts apprehension and concern. "I'll... Take them back to their dormroom. And bring them in for the followup appointment, if we can make one with a specialist. That's a start, right?"
