There's a terribly old-fashioned part of Peggy that simply thinks that using trauma as an excuse for losing your memory is ridiculous, but perhaps that's somewhat self-informed because she's been punctured for a rebar through her body and she'd held onto her memory through that particularly traumatic incident.

Then again, it doesn't seem as though she needs to convince Stella of any of this, so she keeps her lips pressed together and her mouth shut.

"This man of yours sounds like the personification of some very dark things," Peggy says, and she's been in the midst of a war trying to stop people from destroying the world. Yet, the private and almost intimate darkness of this one man is almost more chilling to her, simply because of how it could happen to anyone and with complete chaos and no warning.
