    "the_revelation": "Your brain has different 'save' systems. Short-term memories are stored in a fragile buffer that trauma can wipe clean, while identity and long-term knowledge are locked in a separate, more protected vault. This is why head injury patients often lose hours or days but still know who they are.",
