ardent: (And turning all against one)

"Tabula rasa" is a philosophical theory regarding humanity's natural state of being. It poses that we are neither inherently good nor inherently evil when we're born; at our core, we're a blank slate, and how we choose to act from there is dependent on a number of factors, like memories and experiences that we gain as we grow older.

If you take all of those memories and experiences away, then you'll logically have a person's natural state of being - what they are then is what they would naturally just...be, if that makes any sense.

If you don't remember anything before Miseryville, then you would be in a state of tabula rasa now, I think. What you are now isn't fake, but rather it's the opposite - it's what you're meant to be.
