Forget Me Not (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)

Forget-Me-Nots in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland are magical flowers with the power to erase memories. They are presented as extremely rare and highly sought after for their ability to alter the past by eliminating specific recollections.

The Forget-Me-Nots are depicted as a significant plot device, capable of both helping and harming characters. The erasure of memories carries a substantial cost, generally involving a trade of something valuable or an inherent risk. The effectiveness of the Forget-Me-Nots is seemingly absolute, completely removing the chosen memory without leaving any lingering traces or subconscious effects. The extent of memory erasure possible with the flower is not definitively established but appears to be limited to specific events or periods of time rather than comprehensive personality alterations.

The use of Forget-Me-Nots raises ethical questions regarding the manipulation of memory and the consequences of altering personal history. Characters wrestle with the moral implications of choosing to erase memories, both for themselves and others, highlighting themes of regret, forgiveness, and the importance of remembering the past, even when it is painful. The temptation to use the flowers as a solution to problems and emotional distress is explored, contrasting the potential benefits with the potential repercussions of tampering with one's own identity.
