Commentary: This memory takes place out in the open near an abandoned hay barn where they've made camp, the fields around it full of purple flowers. Pharamond's all-or-nothing mood swings aren't unusual to Cole as he knows why he's like this, though that doesn't keep him from finding it difficult to be patient when he reacts so strongly every time he fails to remember Cole. Because everyone forgets him, even these people who can see him now start to lose hold of his memory the moment he's out of their sight, and it's painful to watch it happen. Rhys is the only one who has always been able to see and remember him.
But he can relate to Pharamond, he thinks. The elven mage used to be Tranquil, but after spending so long in that haze he can't control his emotions. He hurt people while trying to be real again, and now despite his fear he's going back to the Templars to face the consequences, whatever they might be. Cole is doing that too, for Rhys' sake.
But when he does, they might decide to make him Tranquil. And the way Pharamond describes it fills him with dread.
