what if some things are meant to be memories and nothing else (from ratio)
Dr. Veritas Ratio is not the first person to bring up such hypothesis to the table, and he will not be the last. There are countless who think the same way: some things are meant to be memories and nothing else. It is a common understanding, but memories are both the experience and the setting on which a person builds themselves. Their past, the events they lived through, the hardship they went through, and the victories they've carried with themselves. Memories are the entire being, they are the eternal blessing of existence. In memories, everything will live in colors or in shapes. Memokeepers desire to collect those memories to preserve them, to keep them, to let them bloom as crystal flowers within the garden of recollection.
"Memories are ever changing but also everlasting," Black Swan begins, bringing her hand to her face in a thoughtful gesture. They speak of countless recollection, of the worlds which have been forgotten by the general public but not those who study, search, and analyze. Memories are experience upon which others learn, memories are the foundation of self, memories are the life lived and a book written. Memories create books and stories, memories push you towards certain actions, memories embody the true essence of self. "They are the embodiment of who we are al existence, the true essence of our spirit. A memory pure and untainted is the true essence of cosmos. If you speak of how certain things are destined to belong only to the past, I will agree with you."
The maiden of cards and fortune telling will not deny him that understanding. He is the scholar and the doctor, the one who walks the path of logic and who may deny the spiritual affiliation as it is not seen in his own eyes. But can someone who is not a Memokeeper truly understand the importance of memories and the spirit that everyone carries themselves? In the moment of prayer, people beg for the people they loved to come and forgive them, or embrace them. Memories are both a blessing and a curse, both an angel and a demon. But would a scholar like Veritas look at the past like this?
"Even if something will only belong to the past in a form of memory, it is no less of a treasure embodying who you are. The experience, the emotions, the decisions made... Certain events will remain in the past, but they will forever affect your present as well," as the Memokeeper finishes her words, she looks up at the scholar with a familiar smile, a gentle note to it will never disappear as she is aware of the past and may deduct the future as the soothsayer. The grace of Fuli has blessed her with much, she will never forget the moment she was chosen to become a Memokeeper. All memories, all existences, all choices, everything: the beauty of life will always be preserved within memories past oblivion's arrival.
