He spreads his arms at Norm's aggressive comments and takes a step back.  "Hey, I'm not looking for trouble.  Just seemed to me you guys might be in a bit of a mess and I didn't want to just abandon you.  You want me to head off then I will.  I'm going to be late for work anyway."<br/><br/>As Chris watches him he notices something interesting.  While Tannen seems absolutely genuine in what he's saying you notice that the name Honer's and even the exact details of what have happened don't seem to stick in his mind at all.  He's not lying to you, you don't think.  Or at least not deliberately.  But there is something going on.  It's almost as if his memories are being messed with rather than yours.  That somehow, his mental references to the fact that Honer's used to exist are being removed as fast as they are made.  It half leads you to the conclusion that he's mistaken, that your memories haven't been altered.
