Your Worst Memory	comment	Everybody has one bad memory worse than any other, a traumatic moment that haunts them for the rest of their lives. This experience often grows to define their character and drives them to compensate for what it represents. Sometimes, they may even force themselves to forget it, with varying degrees of success. And then, no matter what they've done to suppress it, along comes something that makes them relive the moment. This trope can occur in a number of different ways: on the simplest level, it can appear in the form of a dream, especially if the memory was traumatic enough; in more extreme cases, it can be brought back through magic, technology, or even an afterlife. In some cases, time travel may be involved. Whatever the case, the character is made to watch their worst memories play out all over again — and if they're unlucky, more than once. If they're really unlucky, forever. For good measure, a not-uncommon twist to this trope involves someone else being invited along to this particular trip down memory lane, perhaps out of solidarity, maybe by mistake, or perhaps out of sheer sadism. May involve a Journey to the Center of the Mind, a Mind Probe, Mind Rape, a Mind Prison, a Black Bug Room, or a Psychological Torment Zone. Compare and contrast My Greatest Failure, which may be a source of this trope, and Trauma Button, which can be inspired by examples of this.

Emma Frost specifically uses this memory to torment her in an effort to drive her away from the school. It reduces The Stoic Laura to tears.

However, suppressed memories from his childhood reveal that Kaneki's mother was occasionally abusive towards him and that he held deep resentment towards her after her death. This revelation is what causes him to leave his mother's way of life and start following his own ideals.

Your Worst Memory / int_2172e43f	comment	However, in Arkham Knight, Batman is more driven by his fears of losing the Bat-family, and so his original worst memory appears to have been succeeded by Jason Todd's murder at the hands of the Joker (reportedly seen on tape after the fact). As such, Batman's efforts to keep Tim Drake safe at Panessa Studios results in his increasingly-unhinged mind conjuring up visions of each stage of Jason's torture, concluding with the now-branded and brainwashed prisoner being shot dead by Joker... until Batman finally caves in and locks Tim in a quarantine cell, believing that he'll be safe there. In the end, this only makes it easier for Scarecrow to kidnap him in the finale.

The most pervasive image among these memories, and the final memory we see before Beatrice comes back to reality, is when she had scarlet fever as a child and her abusive father Joseph threw her favorite baby doll into the fire to prevent her sickness from spreading, then threatened to lobotomize her if she cried about it. The memory of her doll burning is what prevented her from aborting her pregnancy, representing how her childhood trauma ruined her life as an adult.

Your Worst Memory / int_24a18ffe	comment	In The Ship Who... Won, Sapient Ship Carialle underwent a harrowing ordeal where she survived an explosion and drifted through space, her brawn dead, most of her sensors nonfunctional, perceiving or hallucinating Salvage Pirates painfully picking pieces off of her and killing yet more of the few inputs she had remaining, slowly going mad. After two years of extensive therapy she returned to being installed on a ship and picked up a new brawn, but she still Hates Being Alone. Sometimes when Keff is asleep or unavailable she vividly recalls the explosion and its aftermath - as a shellperson, if she wants to forget or just have the memory not be crystal clear and as if it happened mere minutes ago, she has to deliberately and painstakingly remove it from her memory banks. In the same book, Ozrans can use their mental influence to cause completely vivid and realistic hallucinations, which they use to torment people who can't fight back. One manages to turn this on Carialle and then complains that her screaming is too loud.

Your Worst Memory / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: The Dementors are Emotion Eaters who suck out all joy from humans, leaving them with nothing but their worst memories. Harry, when attacked by the Dementors, hears the voices of his parents right before their murder at the hands of Voldemort. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry views Snape's worst memory using the Pensieve, a Memory Jar containing Snape's unwanted memories, during occlumency class. The chapter is even called "Snape's Worst Memory". The memory involves Snape being brutally bullied by Harry's father, which horrifies Harry. Later revelations in the seventh book reveal that the real reason it was his worst memory was that it was the day he lost Lily, the love of his life, for good. In the sixth book, Dumbledore starts sobbing and pleading to someone after drinking a potion in the Horcrux cave to hurt him, instead of "them". It freaks Harry out but since there are more pressing matters, he doesn't really have the time to give it much mind. Harry, at that point, knows two things about Dumbledore's younger years: he defeated a dark wizard named Grindelwald some fifty years previously and he has a brother named Aberforth. Over the course of the next year, Harry learns more about his history: he and Grindelwald were "friends" and he had a sister named Ariana who died when the three of them were teenagers. During a confrontation between him, Grindelwald, and Aberforth, Ariana died in the crossfire and while they don't know who exactly killed her, he considers himself her killer and still hates himself for it a century later.

Your Worst Memory / int_3f3abe9	comment	Rick and Morty: "The Rickshank Redemption" features this courtesy of a Virtual-Reality Interrogation: imprisoned by the Federation, Rick is grilled for info on the physics behind his portal gun and sent back through his memories to find out how he got it to work. As it turns out, our Rick was once an unambitious family man who gave up on interdimensional physics when he saw what the other dimension-hopping Ricks across the multiverse were like, even turning down an offer of assistance from the Council of Ricks. Unfortunately, the Council retaliated by murdering his wife and daughter, leaving Rick with nothing left to do but work out the calculations in the ashes and cobble together his first portal gun. It's made abundantly clear that his present self is left absolutely devastated from re-witnessing this moment — not helped by the fact that the agent supervising the interrogation couldn't give a damn about any of it. And then subverted when it turns out that Rick faked the memory just so he could hack the Mind Probe and steal the supervising agent's body. "Rickamurai Jack" reveals that Rick didn't fake the memory entirely, as is discovered when he reluctantly shares the truth with Morty: the death of his wife and child was real, but he didn't work the calculations immediately. Instead, he spent quite some time mourning for their deaths alone in the ruins of his house before finally returning to work - this time with the goal of hunting down the Rick that carried out the assassination. He never found him. In the process, he ended up wiping out a huge chunk of the Rick population before they sued for peace - later becoming directly involved in the creation of the Citadel of Ricks, making him indirectly responsible for the atrocities the Citadel Council inflicted on Ricks and Morties across the multiverse.

While under its influence, the test subjects relive their worst memory, allowing the researchers to map out their traumas for the next stage of the treatment. Here, Annie repeats the last day she spent with her little sister Ellie, during which Annie went out of her way to hurt her feelings — right before their car veered into the path of a truck, killing Ellie on impact. Meanwhile, Owen recalls an incident in which he suffered a psychotic episode and become convinced that a girl he had a crush on was spying on him, resulting in a public meltdown that destroyed their relationship and left Owen forever in doubt of his own sanity. In turn, the "B" and "C" stages bring back elements of these memories, but in progressively more constructive ways until Annie and Owen should finally be able to confront and overcome them... or at least that's their trajectory up until the computer in charge of the treatment starts developing personality problems of her own.

It also appears that the Owl Beast itself relives a traumatic memory alongside Eda, as we see a memory of the beast get captured and trapped inside a spell that seems unfamiliar to Eda herself. In the Season 2 finale, Gus uses his illusion magic on Belos to drag up the memories of him murdering his own brother Caleb, and creating the Grimwalkers in Caleb's image. This causes Belos to grab at his head and scream in agony, and after Hunter interrupts the spell by pulling Gus out of harm's way, Gus has one hell of a Thousand-Yard Stare on his face.

During the backstory, her fellow Valkyries were all wiped out in a hopeless battle with Hela, leaving the future "Scrapper 142" as an alcoholic Shell-Shocked Veteran: a little Mind Rape from Loki brings back the memory in exquisite detail, giving her an extended flashback of all her friends being slaughtered by a barrage of Hela's throwing daggers, portrayed in eerie slow-motion glimpses that make it look all the more like a nightmare. For good measure, it's also implied (and later confirmed) that Valkyrie lost a lover in this fight, given her devastated reaction to a fellow soldier Taking the Bullet to save her from one of Hela's blades. However, instead of stopping her, the mind rape just pisses Valkyrie off: kicking Loki's ass, she then decides to give up the life of an outcast and join Thor.

After exploring the Castle at length, the Doctor learns that it's actually a Prison Dimension for a single inmate: Eugene Tacitus, the court scribe. Most of the time it's a Lotus-Eater Machine to lull the prisoner's troubling memories and make him forget his former life; every few thousand years, however, a new character appears in the Castle and forces the inmate to relive his crime "in every horrific detail": the murder of his own son. In Master, after finally being forced to spill the beans on "John Smith's" past, the Doctor recounts the Master's worst memory and allows John to experience it as flashback alongside the narration. Here, a young Time Lord murdered a bully to save his best friend's life: the guilt gradually transformed the murderer into the Master, the champion of Death herself, while his friend became the Doctor, his greatest opponent. However, when she later appears, Death reveals a hidden twist: it's actually the Doctor's worst memory, for he was the one who murdered the bully to save the Master; realizing that Death was going to make him her champion, the young Time Lord begged her to take the Master instead — a deal that she accepted. For good measure, she forces the Doctor to relive the incident in flashback just so he knows she isn't lying â€” leaving him weeping with remorse.

Your Worst Memory / int_6e1d5f36	comment	Farscape: In "That Old Black Magic", Maldis taunts Captain Crais with a vision of the day he and his brother Tauvo were conscripted for Peacekeeper service, specifically the moment when his father entrusted him with keeping Tauvo safe. Already miserable enough on its own, the fact that Tauvo was killed in an accident at the start of the series only makes the vision even more upsetting for Crais, fueling his hunger for vengeance against John Crichton — who he blames for the accident. Zhaan's worst memory makes an appearance in "Rhapsody In Blue", deliberately shared with Crichton via her Enlightenment Superpowers: Zhaan was once the student and lover of Bitaal, spiritual leader of the Delvians. Not wanting to give up power, Bitaal and a small faction of conservative priests seized control of the planet with the aid of the Peacekeepers and instituted a reign of terror. Despite loving her tutor with all her heart, Zhaan killed Bitaal to avenge the lives he destroyed — while the two of them were sharing Unity, no less, a process that clearly left Zhaan devastated. She was immediately arrested and imprisoned by the Peacekeepers, of course, but the psychic backlash of succumbing to her darker impulses quickly drove Zhaan insane: she spent the next seventeen years in captivity as "a savage" before she was able to gradually return to her study of the Delvian Seek and regain her sense of self. "The Hidden Memory" brings back Crais' worst memory when he's tortured for information by Scorpius, the memory-extracting Aurora Chair replaying the moment on a nearby screen. Already in agony, Crais spends the next few seconds screaming at Scorpius to turn the machine off — much to Scorpy's amusement. Ironically, this isn't the memory he really wants to keep hidden: as it turns out, it's the moment Crais murdered his loyal first officer to keep his dereliction of duty a secret. Scorpius later subjects himself to this in "Incubator". Here, in an effort to persuade Crichton's neural clone of the threat posed by the Scarran Imperium, Scorpius shares the memories of his past as a Scarran test subject. Out of all his memories, the most prominent is the point when his "nanny" forced him to watch recorded footage of his mother being raped by a Scarran soldier — in other words, the only video footage Scorpius has of his parents. The experience of reliving it is so traumatic that the present Scorpius begins to suffer a fit, endangering his life and actually prompting genuine concern from Crichton. In "Mental As Anything", D'Argo finally catches up with his wife's killer at a training camp equipped with a virtual reality machine. Macton, brother to the murdered Lo'Lann, at first appears to have the upper hand: ambushing D'Argo while he's using the simulator to overcome his rage, he gaslights him into thinking that his wife committed suicide after repeated Domestic Abuse, then traps him in his worst memory, namely his cell on Moya after he was framed for Lo'Lann's murder. However, D'Argo gets a Heroic Second Wind and turns the tables on Macton, forcing him to reveal that Lo'Lann's death was due to an accident in the middle of an argument over her marriage — though the frame-up certainly wasn't. Deciding not to kill him, D'Argo instead leaves Macton comatose and reliving his worst memory for the rest of his life: disfiguring his sister's body so that D'Argo would be blamed.

Your Worst Memory / int_6f755c88	comment	Spinoff game The Park is eventually revealed to be an entire instance of this trope for Lorraine Maillard. In the aftermath of her visit to Atlantic Island Park, during which she suffers a Mind Rape and is forced by Nathaniel Winter to murder her own son, she repeats the opening lines: "in my heart and mind, I always return to Atlantic Island Park." Then, once the credits are over, you have the option of "continuing" the finished game; this, combined with your inability to leave the area on the grounds that you "still have things to do," indicates that the whole game was just Lorraine reliving the events of her visit to the park in her nightmares... and she will continue to do so for the rest of her natural life — and given the fact that she becomes effectively immortal in the main game, this may be a while.

The Gamekeeper initially claims to be giving them a chance to correct the mistakes of the past, but in reality, he's just delaying them with a Lotus-Eater Machine to ensure that none of his captives wake up and spoil the paradise the planet has become. As such, every attempt at righting the wrongs ends in failure.

While some of them relive happy memories, villain Peter Quint continuously relives a moment when his psychologically abusive mother blackmailed him into stealing money from his employer (by invoking the physical (and possibly sexual) abuse that Peter's father heaped on him as a child). After reliving it a number of times he outright invokes that he is in Hell, and it contributes to his desperation to permanently possess Miles and escape the memory.

At some point, she's set herself the task of finding seven dreams powerful enough to end her torment once and for all, and it's up to the player to follow the trail of dreams in order to find out what happened. All the dreams she experiences somehow tied back to the traumas she experienced during and after the visit to the park, but the fourth actually requires her to return to Atlantic Island Park in her nightmares and confront the monstrous inhabitants again. Just to drive in the trauma for Lorraine, there's also a vision of Callum's body there.

When she finds the Skywalker lightsaber, she has a number of disturbing visions and one that horrifies her the most is seeing her child-self being restrained as her family's ship flies away, screaming for them to come back. Shortly after, Maz Kanata tells Rey that deep down she knows her parents aren't coming back, but she's so distressed by this that she initially goes into denial and runs off in tears. The vision in fact seems to have partly triggered by Finn, her first real friend, telling her he's leaving, which brought up her old memories and fears of abandonment.

It's pleasant at first, but then things get increasingly distorted. Tulip realizes she's romanticizing her pleasant memories and exaggerating her bad ones, and she has to remember what really happened. This includes facing her memories of the day her parents told her they were undergoing a separation and confronting how bad she feels for lashing out at her parents and blaming herself for their divorce. A later episode shows the same thing happening to Grace, where she realizes that her desire to be seen and be the one in charge (even if she doesn't really know better and is only pretending to) comes from being ignored by her parents as a child (being cared for by revolving nannies whose faces she can't even remember) and alienated from the kids she tried to bond with.

Your Worst Memory / int_f8ff22a6	comment	Throughout the early chapters of Locke & Key, Tyler and Kinsey Locke are traumatized by the murder of their father, and infrequently flash back to the event - Kinsey recalling hiding from the home invaders on the roof, Tyler remembering his confrontation with Sam Lesser and Rendell Locke's bullet-ridden face. Even the smell of paint is enough to remind Kinsey of the half-painted house she was hiding over, prompting her to vomit. Later, use of the Head Key reveals that the sight of Rendell's dead face looms large in Tyler's mental landscape, along with the words Sam said to him.

Your Worst Memory / int_fbf33963	comment	In Inception, Dom Cobb has created a prison inside his mind in which he stores his most painful memories. Ariadne pays a visit and discovers that chief among them are the scene of Mal's suicide and the moment when Dom had to leave his children to go on the run. Later in the film, as the heist grows more strenuous and his composure begins to slip, the image of his children begins to haunt Dom alongside Mal's shade, always out of reach and always with their backs turned to him.
