Success

Broken remnants

[…] The knots of coral here, however, bear jagged abrasions where they have been hacked from the reef.

[...] a sharp spur [...] breaks the skin of your palm and a memory laps at your mind [...] the briefest sense of [Memory] – barely-felt, and receding like the tide.

Description summary:
The description of the memory changes with the Tides of Port Cecil:

Tides of Port Cecil:Memory
7the spine-shaking music of a bruised sky
8a distant violence, against bones now so, so tenuously linked to their mind
9a confusion of whens and wheres, a past stretching so far into the darkness happening all at once
10the violence of light, the memory of a memory hacked off before it was formed
11some locked-away mechanism of want, traded in a desperate bargain
12 - 13yearning yet still to be less, being just sensate enough to hurt
