Explanation:

To determine the narrative point of view, we analyze the pronouns used. The passage uses "you" (e.g., "You said that you hadn't left, not really...", "that you could recall"), which is characteristic of the second - person point of view. First - person uses "I/we", third - person limited focuses on one character's thoughts (usually with "he/she"), and third - person omniscient knows all characters' thoughts. Since "you" is prominent, the point of view is second person.

Answer:

second person
