A child psychologist in the eighties accidentally (or possibly not) convinced a group home full of young foster children that they had repressed memories of abuse at the hands of their caretaker. One of those children, as an adult, wound up in marriage counseling, where the familiar setup caused him to once again begin "recalling" false memories to justify his marital issues.

However, instead of the lost time, he begins reliving repressed childhood traumas. Specifically, he relives the events leading up to the death of his infant brother Julian, who he remembers accidentally killing when trying to stop him crying. However, it turns out his mother Lilian was actually responsible, due to a severe bout of postpartum psychosis, which caused her to deliberately smother Julian. Lex had taken credit to protect his mother from his wrathful father Lionel.

* ''Fanfic/FateOfTheClans'': While Servants remember events from when they were alive, Alaya seals their memory of prior summonings. Even outside of the War they can only recall fond memories with humans. It's Alaya's way to try having the agents care about humans but having them be unable to recall any bad memories regarding the species. Even some fond memories are hazy and the agents attribute it to having been around for multiple lifetimes. Other memories deemed by Alaya to be potentially damaging to a copy's psyche are sealed and the remander are clouded in order to fool the person into thinking they only forgot some details.
