Before Neo Eden

[Stan hadn't planned on being gone all that long. He was just running some errands, picking up stuff he'd been meaning to get. Something that hasn't happened in a long while happened on his way back though, and he still feels a little off from it. It's tough to describe, and he doesn't really want to describe it, but...there's at least one person in the house who should know.

After dropping off everything in the kitchen (even Bona Lisa, sorry girl), Stan gets to the top of the basement stairs and hesitates. There's a lot of things Stan would rather keep to himself, even if he's supposed to be talking to the family more, but this one...the more he sits with it the more unsettling it feels. Like forcing a puzzle piece that doesn't fit right.

Finally he steels himself, knocks on the door frame, and calls out.

Ford? You down there? I, uh.

[Last chance to chicken out. He pauses, and takes a breath.]

......I had a memory thing happen.
