May is not a computer.
Unlike the 'weird' remark, which she was clearly pleased about, I doubt she would be pleased about this characterisation.

You can call Melon by her name. :-D

So this is something that I touched on in the Patreon comments, I'll bring my comments over here now that the comic that they're related to is public:
--- Quote ---You know, I just realized something - a brownout like that means that May will not have successfully saved everything. (Being forced to sleep by a low battery state protects what's in RAM, but a weak battery with high internal resistance like that, voltage will have dropped below thresholds and she went down hard.) She *will* have memory loss... the question is how much.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---To expand... I'd guess that the *best* case is that she doesn't remember the last couple words she said. However, if "afterglow" for a QC AI is really "reduce other processing loads to commit a sexual experience to permanent memory"... that process was interrupted by her charging woes. She may not even remember having sex with Sven at all (although she'll almost certainly remember arranging their hookup). To be honest, this could be quite horrifying for her, even if she doesn't admit it to Sven.
--- End quote ---
It was pointed out in reply to those comments that the memory technology used by QC AIs may not be volatile like current state-of-the-art RAM technologies, though.
Penquin47:
Also, given that they seem to have cleaned up (at the very least, neither is covered in lube or whatever they used to write on each other). it seems that some time has passed. May's memory loss, if there is any, is likely not going to involve the sexual encounter itself.
TheEvilDog:
Well that certainly would have been a unique take on the walk of shame.
