As he steps into the room, past the point of no return, to have his mind wiped, his memories erased, and be reborn as a new person, he feels for the first time a sharp sensation outside the doubt that has weighed heavily on his heart. Relief. He has no choice now. His course is set and the destination is unknown, but he knows now he will not feel all he has felt again, but a whole new set of feelings, like a palette of colour hitherto unseen.
