it gets fuzzy after a while. There's some people that stick, but... ya know how history gets more and more vague the further back in time ya go because the tradition gets tweaked by time and every traditor hands down a bit less than the one before? Memory does the same thing. And then there's so many that sometimes ya aren't sure anymore if ya mix people up. But some stay in yer memory very clearly because they were somehow more important ta ya. Fer good or bad reasons. Often both.
[Armin considers this, but it's not something he's heard of before. So much history was lost when they retreated behind the walls that it's hard to imagine the wealth of history that Denmark's world must have and how it would decay over time. It makes sense, though, and he slowly nods.]. I suppose human memory works the same way; you recall important things and other things fade. So many memories though! And so many people too.
