Our memories fade. Every single one - no matter how cherished, loved, or valuable - will eventually leave our consciousness. Fight all you like, write as many diaries as you want, but we all lose eventually. The images and movies replay over and over in our heads with small and subtle changes until they are no longer recognizable. And some memories fade away without even that.

Those primal forces that stir deep within us are, when separated from their narrative catalyst, even more difficult to remember. After all, you can write in your diary why you made the terrible choices you've made, but what if you don't remember those choices?
