The more time Justin spent actively trying to get away from Fungalore and find something better, all without ever being able to actually just forget about him, the further he was cemented into their minds. Once they had devoted more than two minutes purely to talking about Fungalore there was no more getting away from him while still remembering he existed, everything past that point was just an effort in futility.
