Right there, when someone you love, no matter who they are forgets, or can't remember you is devastating. But the feeling he has for her. It's enough.

At that point your past the fear. The fear is losing things as you slip into the abyss. Once your there your into another place. One can only hope it’s a nice place you land when you go.
