The problem is that that thing - [He pointed to the memory crystal] - doesn't have a time-stamp on it. Was it from when you were a kid? Or an adult? Or on your death-bed? Who knows - and even if you figure that much out, somebody else may have a different spin on it. Somebody else you used to know and wound up here for whatever reason.
[He leaned back in his chair, sighing.] The longer I'm here, the more it all gets muddled up. And I'm not enough of a braniac to sort it all out. [He shrugged.] So I just have other priorities now instead of memory crystals, is all.
... Doesn't mean you have to feel that way, though. [That last part was important to add. He didn't like pressuring people in Edensphere to adopt his - apparently - unpopular stance on things. Then again, there weren't many people left who'd been there as long as he had.]
