Oh yeah... the problem about Jean knowing their secrets. What decisions would Caspar and Aldebar make?

"How long have you known him?" Aldebar asked.

"I just knew him recently," Caspar answered, "but he is Finland's best friend and I trust my wife's judgment."

"Jean is a very nice person." Finland said quickly. "I can guarantee he won't reveal your secrets. I know him very well."

Aldebar nodded at Caspar, "If you trust your wife's judgment, then we can assume this problem does not exist."

Oh... Finland was very relieved.

They will not bother Jean.

In her heart she cheered, because if they thought Jean was harmless, then she would be able to tell Jean about her secrets. She did not need to pretend to die in a sinking ship and disappear from the man's life. She and Jean would be able to stay connected like Katia and Karl Furstenberg now.

Katia secretly met Karl and told him that she was still alive. It was 50 years late... but at least she got her best friend back.

Finland didn't have to lose Jean...

The girl felt her chest lighten, as if a heavy burden was lifted of her shoulders. For the past few weeks she had been very stressed at the thought of having to lie to Jean and the need to disappear from his life. That would make Jean very sad. Now that didn't need to happen.

"All right, if that is your opinion," Caspar said later. "We will assume this problem does not exist..."

"Actually, I didn't intend to let it slide either," Aldebar said, interrupting Caspar. He pulled out a small bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table. "I've done research for several years and created a potion specifically for an event like this. Give this potion to him, and he will lose his memory. This has proven to be effective, I've tried it on several people."

Finland's heart suddenly felt heavy again. Get rid of Jean's memory?

"Do you mean to say that he would forget about the talk we had last time... Or would he forget everything?" She asked in a trembling voice. "Is this potion safe?"

"The potion is safe. The results of my experiments show that the person may lose their memory from the past few months to the past few years, depending on the dose. I have never given this to subjects just to erase their memories of a particular event. Hypnosis can be an effective way if we want the subject to forget about only one incident. But in this case, where the secret is big enough, we cannot take risks. It's better to use this memory potion."

"Is it possible for Jean to forget me if he takes this medicine…?" Finland asked him urgingly.

If Jean could forget her, he wouldn't be sad when Finland disappeared.

Maybe this could be the best solution, Finland thought.

"How long have you known each other?" Aldebar asked.

"Around 4.5 years."

"Hmm... give him one full bottle. That should be enough to erase his memory for the past four years. He won't remember ever knowing you. Maybe this will be better for the both of you."

Caspar smiled, nodding. He agreed that this was the best solution for everyone. Jean would disappear from Finland's life and would have the girl erased from his memory. Then, he and Finland could start a new life with no baggage.

"I will give this potion to Jean." Finland finally said. She took the bottle and placed it in her pocket. "I'll spend the next two weeks with my only best friend... then I'll say goodbye. He'll forget me. Maybe that's the best."

Finland would certainly never forget Jean for the rest of her life. If she lived forever, then forever Jean would have a special place in her heart.

He would forever be Finland's only friend and family for a wonderful 4.5 years of her life, while she would have to accept that Jean would forget her… for his own good…

That was the best way.
