Why this must be read: When Tatsumi puts Watari's memory to the test, he ends up dredging up a few bittersweet recollections of his own. This is a lovely look at Watari's ability to remember everything that ever happened ever and still forgive. A growing strain of wistfulness runs through the fun, but the end feels hopeful and at least cautiously happy.
"...But I still don't believe you remember almost all these days...."
Watari drew himself up at the challenge. "Try me."
Tatsumi did, for half an hour, as they sorted the mountain of paperwork into ever-more-specific piles. Office parties gone horribly wrong, Tsuzuki's cooking, potions that were terrible in concept and worse in execution, Terazuma's first day and Matsumoto's last; Watari remembered it all in exhausting detail, just by looking at the date and details of the experiment. "All right," Tatsumi said, brandishing a note with a deep coffee stain. "What's this one?"
"That-- oh." Watari grabbed it from him. "Never mind that." He put it on the 1978-1982 pile and took another piece of paper from the unsorted slips.
15 January 1982. Tatsumi wracked his brain for any significant events. Early December...what happened in 1982? Nothing significant politically, at least that month, no serious demon activity, and at the office--
Oh. "Tell me?"
Watari looked away from him. "I found out you kept hand lotion in your desk drawer."
