[The saying the truth hurts is ridiculously simple. Everyone knows that admitting your wrong hurts. Consequences hurt. But waking up without any clear reasoning for your actions, doubting who you really are because of what you can make yourself do when you're convinced of something, and having no real memories to back up that reasoning doesn't just hurt. It leaves nightmares and a constant, aching doubt that things will never be right again.
