[He knows what it means that Itachi is sharing this just as much as he knows that it must have hurt him or at the very least shaken him to go unrecognized by McCoy. He also knows that anything perceived as sympathy will not be welcome.]
Based on existing information, it seems likeliest he was attempting to access something within Olivia's files.
But the other possibility is that he did something to change his regret, and the lost memories are a consequence of that.
It is difficult to ascertain one way or another without investigation, and as he does not know me there is little cause for him to confide such things in me now.
[He'd meant that if McCoy knew the consequence would be losing his memory, no matter what the regret change he would have told him. He starts to clarify as much and then stops. Itachi didn't reach out for that and while the implication that McCoy cared might be soothing to another, it would push Itachi away here.]
I'll bet it has to do with everything else going on.
I'm sorry Itachi. I hope his memories return soon.

Do you know what he was doing before he forgot?

However, the correlation between his saying he had considered it and him losing his memories of me is certainly coincidental, if nothing else.

Stay in touch.

It would be easiest to stay in touch if we explored together, wouldn't it? Easier to watch each other's backs too.
no subject
It would be best not to revisit such things between us.

Alright. I didn't realize others could, well...no one has witnessed any of mine yet. I suppose I've been lucky.
I'll be glad when all of this is over so we can get back to our own station.
I'll check in with you then. Every couple of hours.
