I can't imagine the sheer, gut-wrenching horror Sabo must've felt when that newspaper clipping finally unlocked his memories. It wasn't just remembering Ace; it was the agony of realizing he'd been gone all this time and he hadn't even known, which completely shattered me for him.

I felt sick seeing Sabo wake up and remember everything right after Ace died because the timing of that memory returning is pure cruelty
