The Annan of the past dared to decisively give up memories for certain things, for a certain purpose.
Annan could believe that such resolute, complete abandonment was indeed an action he could take...
But Annan would never give up everything for some trifling matter.
To Annan, the memory of details was a great treasure in itself.
Because he truly had this talent for discerning the human heart.
So then conversely... what was it that Annan was willing to forsake everything to pursue?
Without a doubt.
It was that intense and fervid positive emotion that had never been frozen by the "Winter's Heart".
Now Annan understood completely.
——The original, pure desire for asceticism that Annan possessed.
——The fearless heart brought about by the inverted Winter's Heart.
——The unstoppable, repetitive failures.
