[Nathan knows instinctively that he's forgotten a lot, more than just her name, without being able to say just how much is gone because he can't identify what's already lost.
But a lot is different from everything. He can't even imagine.
He takes a deep breath and just — collapses, folding down to a crouching position as all the memories flow back into him. It's like a dam has burst. He can't even recognize individual memories as they return, he can only hold on as the torrent flows through him. He doesn't even recognize when the sobs begin.
When Nate looks up again, he feels a little more like his old self. He doesn't know if that's a good thing or not.]
