Okay, I have another two theories, both of which fit with the "mental" idea:

(a) Somebody random gets Fitz on their Match list and just won't leave him alone. I know SM had him say he probably wouldn't get his first list for a couple of years, but once he's registered, he could probably show up on other peoples' lists. It wouldn't be a physical threat (necessarily) but I bet the whole group would find it pretty distracting. ;)

(b) Alvar (w/o memories) is a good person and works his way up to "beloved friend" throughout the first half of the book or so. Then, for whatever reason, the Neverseen see fit to restore all of his memories at once, which would probably have him going through an internal crisis. I'm not sure how he wouldn't have the "triggers" SM has described, but suddenly getting all of his memories back would probably trigger a lot of ''flashbacks. ''Which would tie into the title as well.

Let me know what you think!
