Notes
Even though Nick Valentine claims that all synths who escape the Institute lose their memories of it, due to a manufactured failsafe, H2-22 can recall many details of his life there. It is later revealed by DiMA that Nick had new memories uploaded to him just before the two of them escaped, which coupled with the early synth's limited memory capacity caused Nick to not remember the Institute.
Appearances
H2-22 appears only in Fallout 4.

Old Man Stockton: "This... synth... is fresh from the Institute. He's disoriented, he's never seen anything like our world. I can't hide him here forever. I've tried to deliver him at the rendezvous location, but raiders have made that impossible. So if you could...?"
(Old Man Stockton's dialogue) - ↑ H2-22: "The doctor said I could say goodbye. I've decided... to have the operation. I know I'll lose all my memories. I don't want you to be sad. I... I have nightmares. And this world, the SRB, being hunted. I just can't handle it. Everyone says I'll be safer if I start a new life. I know I'll be happier. My only regret is I'll forget... Old Man Stockton. High Rise. And you. Looking back, there's only fear. Worse than fear. But I will miss my new... friends."
