The emptiness in her gaze softened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry opened his sketchbook again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he used two different colored pencils, writing overlapping text in the same space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you ever played this game?\" he asked. \"When two colors of text overlap, and you want to see only one—what do you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Eternals stared blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You place a transparent filter of the same color over it. The unwanted color disappears, leaving only the target text visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have colored film with me to demonstrate. But you understand the principle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply put—we build a neural filter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would detect the brainwave frequency corresponding to the intrusive memory fragments and generate an opposing waveform to cancel them out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thena's normal memories and the interfering fragments operate on distinct frequency patterns. I don't need to worry about filtering the wrong signal—they're clearly separable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suppress the intrusive signal. Reduce its cortical response. The interference stops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suppress, not erase. So the memories still exist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Henry replied patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All biological brains—Eternals included—don't store memory like stone carvings or ink on paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Memories move from short-term to long-term storage. If not revisited for long periods, they sink deeper into inactive layers and eventually fade from accessible recall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The brain discards what it deems unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I assume even you cannot recall what you ate for breakfast and dinner on a random day five thousand years ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh cleared his throat awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually… I can. Which date would you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo and Thena both leaned away from him in visible irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo said bluntly, \"Ignore him. You think he's this big because of bone structure? Henry's right. We don't remember trivial details like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry suppressed a sigh and continued smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thena's problem isn't memory volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's uncontrolled recall frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The intrusive fragments activate repeatedly, without her intent. That constant activation increases cognitive load and destabilizes her mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we suppress those specific activation patterns, her brain regains equilibrium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think of it as noise-canceling headphones. When external noise is detected, the device emits an inverse wave, neutralizing the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I propose building a device that does exactly that—for those specific brainwave signatures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This only works because Eternal neural patterns are extraordinarily precise and consistent. Human brainwaves are far too chaotic for such targeted filtering—unless you're someone like Professor X.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My confidence is based on my research into telepathic defense systems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Eternals exchanged uncertain glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry clarified further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me be clear. This is not a cure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is correction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like glasses for nearsighted humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do know what glasses are, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. We know what glasses are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry turned back to Kingo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the device is damaged, Thena reverts to her previous state. Then we build another one. That's all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that satisfy our agreement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted a solution. Not necessarily a cure. I can accept this. But are you certain it will work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't collect payment until I verify effectiveness,\" Henry said lightly. \"No risk of me taking the blood and running.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Payment?\" Gilgamesh asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo answered openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promised Henry that if he resolves Thena's condition, I'll give him one vial of my blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He originally wanted to study our armor system—but you know that requires access to the Domo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think a hundred milliliters of blood is reasonable compensation—if this works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One vial? That much?\" Gilgamesh asked uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much. About a hundred milliliters. Roughly the volume of one finger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added dryly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My finger. Not yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh immediately said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's all, I'll donate too. If he helps Thena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thena spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well. Originally, this was only between Kingo and me.
