As Dream and Shadow (1937) | dir. Toivo Särkkä

First her memories of life before the loop faded, and were supplanted by memories of earlier cycles: particularly rewarding runs of observation and perception that resulted, initially, in extraordinary feats of deduction; and, later on, in the epiphany that it was not necessary to reach conclusions, only to observe and catalogue; and, later still, in the acceptance of the superfluity even of memory itself.... She wondered, while it was still possible to care about such things, why she couldn't have performed this alchemy during her life before the loop, transforming her shortcomings as a mother, a mate, a teacher, into this magisterial indifference.
