Commentary: (Important note: The Inquisitor is talking to Cole in this memory, which is the malleable player customized character. I've left the Inquisitor in Cole's background vague in case anyone ever decides to app one. So while the Inquisitor in this video clip is a male Qunari, I'm currently leaving their race/gender/class vague. If it's unavoidable to talk about ICly though, I can make some Executive Decisions as necessary.)
You can tell through this memory that Cole can hear the minds and sense the emotions of others, the same way you can feel the breeze and hear the birds around you- it's a natural part of his senses. Right now he's focused on one woman in particular, the pain in her calling out to him. He senses the memory from her, both her thoughts around it and the memory itself, translating raw thought and emotion into spoken words.
He's glad that the Inquisitor is supportive of him helping her, though his first attempt is too direct, only confusing her. But it's okay, she'll forget him momentarily, and then he can try again. This time he finds better words, pushing through and lessening the pain. Then he makes her forget him. She doesn't remember he was there, but she feels better, less like it's her fault.
It's better that they forget him. He knows that what he is can scare people, and maybe it should. He doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore, though. But it's safer this way, to help and then disappear. No one has to be scared or hurt by his presence if they don't know he was ever there. So long as he knows he helped, he's happy.
