Characters whose memories are wiped of certain events may retain the sense that they've lost something. If that sounds unfulfilling, no worries. The character will often recall their memories through some token gift or heirloom left behind. They will then reunite with their lost comrades. This is probably the most tolerated version of the Reset Button. The Aesop of this trope is usually that everything and everyone's connected, and even if you can't remember a friend, there will be a part of you that will never be the same without them. Examples of Wistful Amnesia include:

For obvious reasons, this occurs in shows with a mystical or fantasy element, although science fiction shows can do this if they have memory-erasing Phlebotinum available. Compare Amnesiac Lover, where a present romance is forgotten. Examples of Wistful Amnesia include:
