TW: self-harm
it just came to mind that andrew minyard likely vividly remembers inflicting every single scar upon himself, plus the pain that caused him to do so, and the armbands are a constant reminder and he'll never fully heal from that and now my day is ruined
as a person who formerly struggled with sh and carries scars very similar to his (3 years clean and going strong!) i'm genuinely so glad i barely remember the worst of my pain even if i'll always be marked by it. but having his memory seems more like a curse than a "gift" in this case
