'Daphne shuddered. "Just so long as they don't eat me!"
"No, they would never eat a woman," said Mau.
"That's very gentlemanly of them!"
"No, they would feed you to their wives, so that they become beautiful."

There was one of those pauses that are icy-cold and red-hot at the same time. It was stuffed with soundless words, words that should not be said, or said another time, or in a different way, or could be said or needed to be said but couldn't be said, and they would go on tumbling through the pause for ever, or until one of them fell out --

"Ahem," said Daphne, and all the other words escaped, for ever. Much later, and many times, she wondered about what might have happened if she hadn't chosen a word that clearly belonged to her grandmother. And that was that. For some people, there is only one right moment for the right word. This is sad, but there seems to be nothing that can be done about it.'
~~ Terry Pratchett, Nation

Alternity: This alternity spans from the quoted moment to when Daphne leaves the Nation.
I imagine this one-off as an AU in which Daphne says, "Beautiful?" instead of, "Ahem," and she and Mau have another moment of extreme awkwardness which is broken by Mau saying, "I know everybody talks about us. I wish they wouldn't. It makes it so much harder to try and talk to you. And... your father will come."

And then they would actually talk about their feelings, and name them, and possibly kiss, and that's what would be interrupted by Hoti and then there would be a lot of blushing and they'd go on to have the same conversation about the Raiders and the cave, and Daphne would drag Mau up there... and the cave scene would go quite similarly on the outside, but instead of having a background of dismissed and ignored feelings, Mau and Daphne's feelings for each other would be caught up in the much wider revelation of the meaning of the cave.

Over the next few weeks until the Raiders came, Mau and Daphne would of course be very busy, and general events would occur very similarly to how they do in canon, but with a lot more evening walks and exploratory kissing and trying (unsuccessfully) to keep the kissing secret from everyone else. However, they'd find it surprisingly easy to get moments of uninterrupted privacy because Cahle would certainly be aiding and abetting them without saying anything about it at the time.

And the Raiders would come, and Mau would beat Cox, and really things would just continue on as in canon except with a lot more mushy stuff, probably up to some pretty steamy first base stuff and definitely stopping short of actual sex. Leaving would be harder, but Daphne would still leave.

+ a ton of confusion about getting some other Mau's memory
+ general wistfulness over Daphne
+ desire to see Daphne again when he gets home
+ general pubescent hormonal inquisitiveness

Unlike regular memories where there is a strong sense of the emotions and sensations in a memory an alternity is more like watching it on TV. Your character is very aware this is someone else's life and while they may get some emotional impact from it -- it should be more like an information dump.
