[Will is not the sentimental sort. Memorials don't mean anything to him, they don't feel important or necessary. But the people here, they care about those sorts of things. Especially the people like Daylight.]
It should go without saying by now that I don't exactly make a lot of friends wherever I go. And no, that doesn't bother me, that's not the point I'm trying to make. The point is that I never got close to anyone. Not enough to learn anything about them that mattered. I could list off a few names that stuck out, but it wouldn't mean anything. None of you knew them, and honestly neither did I, and in the end we'd just be honoring a vague idea. Which is fine by me, if you'd like to do so. Make some sort of monument to those who've gone before, if that'll help you. But unfortunately I can't give you anything more than that. It sounds harsh, I know, but that's the reality of this place. There are countless people who've come and gone here, and there's nothing left of them. If we become too attached to memories that none of us even have, how are we going to move forward? The people who knew them in life probably didn't forget, the people that actually mattered to them. If that's any sort of comfort.
