Give me your best memory. I want to know what makes you remember it.

It will probably sound a little silly, but my best memory is actually a really sad one. It involved someone sharing a story with me about his family, and I cried at the time.

The reason it's my best memory - the reason I remember it - is because it meant that the person I cared for was opening up to me, and even if what he had to say wasn't happy, it was honest and real.

When I met the person I love.

I believe I was born to meet him.

When I met Elsea for the first time! She saved me from going back home and helping me realize what I wanted to do in life!

Opening up? Did it mean that much to you?

...born to meet him. Huh. [She doesn't sound too impressed, but then again, she doesn't understand human emotion. Being a cyborg does that to you.]

What told you that you were meant to meet?

Who's Elsea? And what did you want to do?

Well, yes. Is that strange? Even if you stay close to someone, it's when they open up to you that you can really understand them.

It was one of the things I wanted most.

I guess it's difficult for me to understand. I'm not human- I don't understand their emotions at all.

Oh! I suppose that would present a problem with understanding. But the thing we - most of us anyway - value most is our relationships to each other.

Think of it this way: we define ourselves by other people a lot. So, say, before my mother died, I would define myself as her child, or as a student of a favorite teacher, or as a resident of a specific town. Then I moved into another life, and I became Raikou's partner, a member of Wakachi, a part of Kairoushuu.

It's like how here we're defined by the houses we're in, except more personal.

Elsea was a gym leader back home, she told my dad that it wasn't right for him to force me to go back home! I wanted to learn as much as I could about the world around me and that's what I did!

I wanted to become a pokemon professor!

Watching the sun set with my friends. It reminds me the time we spent together was real.

when my brother was born, i always wanted to be around him so my mom helped me make a blanket fort that connected to his crib and i would play in there and sleep there with him some nights the clearest memory i have is of mom making me a sandwich and i sat in that fort eating it while my brother napped mom made the best sandwiches

What was it like?

Lullabies.

So family's your best memory, right?

What about them?

I... think I get it. Is that how people are family? Even if they're not related.

My brother would write them for me.

Warm. Happy. I'll never forget it.

Do you have a memory like that?

guess that's a pretty good way to put it what's got you interested in memories?

Bagging my first tiger, of course. I was 23. Poor beast put up a beautiful fight. All claws and teeth. I blasted her in the right in the heart just before she could get her claws in me.

No, I don't. [She totally does.]

I don't really understand emotion since I'm not human, so.

I'm a cyborg. Our memories are like computers- we can save and recall everything, like a photograph or a video, and we never lose it. I guess I just want to know how and why humans remember things, especially since they don't have that capability.

Did you have a favorite?

[Oh, it's you. Really, Moran.]

Your best memory is killing an animal.
