It's your second reading — the amnesia'd characters have a vague sense that something is missing.

Perhaps the description could be rewritten to be a little more clear.
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

I clarified the Laconic, but I suck at descriptions, so someone else can take a crack at that.

The description's clear now. We can lock this.

Wistful Amnesia seems to have a bit of ambiguity in its definition. Is the emphasis supposed to be on the fact that the amnesia is caused by a desire for a supernatural being to go away without leaving a trace in the memories of the normal people around, or is it about the fact that the amnesia'd people have some vague knowledge that something's missing? It seems mostly to be the latter but the first part of the description makes it sound like the trope is all about the former. And a few of the examples, like the last one for Doctor Who, probably fit that more than the second part.
