Fair enough. I wouldn't dare call either of us normal. Again, my estimate is only off my own experience. [He barely remembers when he turned two hundred anymore, but still. It's where he can at least ballpark when things started falling out of his memory in larger and larger chunks.]
So that would leave it with only the beholder's interpretation as the flaw, rather than the information itself, regardless of the passage of time. Am I understanding correctly?
Isn't that much obvious? If the person who is recording the information only knows of one side or holds any particular feeling, then it will show in the recording.
[ isn't that what they basically hashed out with solomon? his "historians" were only able to write with what they could see of him. ]
I'm sure you're familiar with the saying, "history is written by its victors". To preserve the truest form of history, the one writing it can't be partial to any side.
[ a 100% neutral party outside of every conflict. ]
[ sorry that this car does not have proper hands to helps with the bandage. ...unless solomon wants to get creative with windows and such?
and lavi doesn't have enough of his memory to provide examples or, honestly, he wouldn't either. there's a lot more packed in there than he'll ever feel comfortable explaining, so, he's fine to leave things as they lay. ]
No need to apologize. It's not the first time I've had to be on my own, and it won't be the last. At least the small talk fills the air with more than blood.
[His chuckle is weak as he works to finish up the bandaging up onto his wrist and palm, before trying to assess the wound closer to his back. Ough he's not flexible enough for this...]
Until I found my partner, the lack of my memory didn't bother me deeply. I've come to peace with the fact that I will never remember everything. I can try to find ways to keep those most important things intact, but I'm of no special clan or bloodline. Inevitably, my memory or my methods will fail.
Even should I forget something that felt critical to me, I know it can't stop me from moving forward with what's important. And right now, that is the safety of all of you.

[Bandaging urself with one arm is very hard but he is trying >:(]
Not to say I doubt you. It's just not something I'm used to. And it's a bit besides the point I was trying to get to, anyway.

Of course, and I was just making conversation.
[ ...hmm. ]
Sorry I can't be of much help.
