[ Would March arrange those photographs in a linear sequence or a triangle? A different option altogether? He contemplates asking the question, certain only of the likelihood that the answer would be something unpredictable, but March's assertions give him pause. She has previously alluded to her amnesia, during their mission to infiltrate The Sapphire Room — it sounds rather severe.
March speaks of it as though lacking any memory of her own past doesn't trouble her, but is that really true? Experiencing inexplicable things as an AI was uncomfortable, so a vast stretch of nothing where one's past should be, as a living being, must be similarly disturbing.
Each picture taken becomes a tangible memory, evidence of a desire to preserve those moments so as not to forget them. It's another matter to handle with care. ]
And about yourself? What do you want your friends to record?
[ It's a bit of a surprising question, because not too many people ask her about how she wants to be remembered. Usually when she's talking about memories, it's about why they're important to her and what she wants to do to recall and preserve them. So March has to pause for a few minutes to give the question proper thought, tapping her chin as she mulls on it. ]
I think... That's pretty much up to them. Maybe what they think is important about me at the time? As long as they remember me, I think that's all I'd want. Though I definitely hope the memories are amazing!
[ That sounds quite humble at first, the simple wish to be remembered — nothing more and nothing less — until March finishes with what appears to be in line with her usual easy confidence. The resulting contrast feels stark, almost like the preceding thought quickly covered up, and it meets with a raised brow, but Yesod accepts March's response.
It's hardly his place to question it on the basis of his own perspective as far as mysteries and debates surrounding one's memories are concerned. ]
You're bound to accumulate a variety of experiences to remember together. The less amazing memories are equally important, as every moment contributes another component of an expanding picture over time.
[ And March 7th, remembered, will consist of an ever-expanding collection of personalized pictures in turn, fulfilling her wish. ]
Yeah, I feel that way too. Good or bad, memories are important.
[ No matter what anyone else tells her, that perhaps some things are better off left forgotten (against her will), they're still her memories. She still wants to know what she's forgotten and even if painful memories exist up ahead, it's still something to retain. ]
So I think I'll just look forward to seeing what comes next, for me and for you.
