Your memory loss is pretty complete.

[She is not sure if she appears to be particularly trustworthy right now, since she looks disheveled and perhaps insane.]

Right before that announcement, we all had a dream, right? Something about being erased to save all of Mayfield. Both of us chose to remain, but there are others who chose to be erased. The town put out the announcement to trick us into believing they have actually been erased and replaced with constructs, but all evidence I have found points to the contrary.

[She pauses a bit to let the girl absorb the information.]

It is not their physical existence that has been tampered with, but the memories of those that chose to remain. In a way, we can regard this as our punishment for being so selfish. We are gradually losing our memories of those people whose name were put on the list. Meanwhile, they have been surrounded with a cloaking effect that makes them appear to be the town's constructs.

Obviously, you knew someone who was on the list. Someone important enough for you to make a magical contract with. However, because of the town's current "game," you have already forgotten that person.
