> Ochigava did not remember how he got on the plane in Copenhagen. Ochigava also would not explain how or when he got to Copenhagen or what he was doing there. When asked how he got through security in Copenhagen, Ochigava claimed he did not remember how he went through security without a ticket.

he didn’t know why he was in copenhagen, which would suggest a minimal at best awareness of itinerary. was he in a daze when he got the ticket? nobody checked for his name on a connecting flight?

there is an explanation, but not enough data to assume this a normal event. or otherwise. not yet. right now it is just very, very strange.

like what exactly was he on to make him think taking the cabin crew’s chocolate was ok? highly unlikely some just fell in his lap. he was in an addled state where he couldn’t stop eating and wasn’t sleeping, and though sleep deprivation was no joke, he navigated the airport successfully without attracting enough attention to keep him off of the plane, then stole chocolate? sure, sleepier, international flight, perhaps.

but there’s a lot of suspension of disbelief required to make this a series of coincidences. so far.

Diazepam can sometimes cause people to act like that. They are not sleeping but are completely on autopilot, even driving a car etc. and afterwards they don't remember what they were doing.

Some people are afraid to fly and use diazepam to reduce anxiety.

It might not be what happened here but this would be my first assumption. He somehow got on the wrong flight and lost his memory due to use of drugs or stress.
