Memories, they are a funny thing. The more time between the present and the past, the more construed they seem to get. The lore builds with every passing day and the fondness, or lack thereof, builds with them.
Do you really remember what had transpired on that day, or do you just remember the last time you thought about that moment? Each recollection skews the truth. No one's mind is perfect. Emotions and thoughts can be voiced and sifted through, but rarely if ever can they be replicated with 100% accuracy.
