User blog comment:DCOwikia/Is Hyria LYING To Aphmau? (MCD S2 Ep. 100 Theory)/@comment-30685255-20170307174453

I don't think Hyria is lying to Aphmau. Irene locked away her memories and powers in order to learn how to feel again. When she was "awoken", she had no memory of her past, therefore she could not remember that she didn't know how to love or feel emotion. She developed those feelings again after living in Phoenix Drop for awhile. Also, Hyria can't possibly be Irene, because we saw a flashback of Irene talking to Hyria in the Irene Dimension.
