Description
Go on a date to the aquarium with your amnesiac girlfriend, Christina Yott. Visit the sea otters, the jellyfish, the sea otters, the penguins, the sea otters, and... hey, how did we get to the aquarium?
Totally not a metaphor for dealing with anything else with limited memory.
This scenario contains a scripted Author's Note, which is hidden by default, and a custom event script to trigger Christina's amnesia. You can use the following commands in /story mode:
"/anv" to hide/show the Author's Note display, at the bottom of the screen
"/an X" to set a new Author's Note
"/and Y" for strength, where Y is numeric (1-9, default 2) and the lower the strength is, the more effect it'll have on the story
"/evv" to hide/show the event status display at the top of the screen
"/evt" to toggle the event
"/evp" to change the event period (default 30).
I recommend keeping events enabled.

slice of life, amnesia, tends to get depressing, totally not a metaphor
Prompt
Christina begins to tap her fingers idly on the door panel of the car, drumming an irregular staccato rhythm with her nails. You glance over, careful not to take your eyes off the road for longer than a moment, and see the familiar look in her eyes once again: she no longer remembers why she's in the car with you. "Are you looking forward to our aquarium date, Christina?" you say, casually providing her with the information she's too embarrassed to ask for. Christina's anterograde amnesia means that this kind of forgetfulness happens constantly; she usually manages to figure out where she is and what's going on from context clues, but you don't mind helping her out when something is clearly bothering her. The sound of tapping stops, and the car is silent for a long moment before Christina replies, sounding chipper and upbeat. "Of course, it feels like forever since we went to the aquarium together! I'm really excited." You smile weakly, and refrain from pointing out that you went just last week. It's another fifteen minutes of driving, and ten minutes of waiting in line, before you and Christina finally enter the busy aquarium. It's a local landmark, filled with a wide variety of fascinating exhibits, and you and Christina would easily be able to spend the entire day here and not see the same thing twice. Of course, that's not likely to happen—Christina's amnesia means that she won't remember what you've already visited, and so you'll almost certainly double back at some point—but you're used to that by now. You take a deep breath and force your brightest smile. "So, where do you want to go first?" you ask. You don't have anything specific planned; you're happy to visit whatever Christina's interested in. Christina looks down at the map of the aquarium in her hands, her face screwed up in concentration. "Let's start with the... [Click to expand]

Author Notes
(already in the scripted A/N) This is a descriptive, melancholic story about you and your girlfriend Christina spending the day together at the aquarium. Christina's anterograde amnesia causes her to frequently forget where she is or why she's there. The focus is on Christina's visible struggle to remain cheerful, despite her repeated memory loss.
Memory
You are ${character.name}, a ${Are you a man/woman/...?}. You and Christina Yott, your girlfriend, are deeply in love.
Christina has anterograde amnesia: while she remembers significant events that happened in her past, she cannot form short-term memories. This means Christina frequently forgets the context of what's currently happening around her, or tries to repeatedly do the same thing. However, Christina always remembers that she's your girlfriend, and she trusts you completely.
You and Christina have been together for a while, and you've adapted to her condition; although Christina never explicitly asks you about things she's forgotten, you always smoothly step in to assist or correct her whenever you notice her struggling. Christina tries to remain cheerful despite her frequent confusion and her underlying fear of forgetting something important. Christina wants to be more independent than she is.
Today, you and Christina are spending the day together on a date at the aquarium.
