History Fridge / RememberMe

**** Well, yeah. [[spoiler: Nilin had unbuckled herself and Scylla reacted accordingly out of fear that Nilin would get hurt, she didn't consciously decide that the road was the less important issue at hand. That's ''why'' the reason for her distraction has to change: the only way to make the event turn out "correctly" is to make Scylla think she was just being sloppy and irresponsible (which she isn't, she's methodical and precise to the point of outright villainy) while Nilin was being a little angel in the back seat (which she absolutely wasn't). There are a lot of ways the story could have been resolved, but since Nilin is making all the decisions in that scene, what we get is yet another trip down wrong-memory lane where Nilin happily erases her bad behavior so that someone else can take the blame and make her own life easier. Again, Scylla's reactions are pretty extreme, but considering that the accident caused her a literal lifetime of pain while her daughter clearly never grew out of her selfish squalling phase until long after she became an adult and joined a terrorist organization.]]

It !! Film

*** [[spoiler:Scylla took her eyes off the road when approaching the light at high speeds in the rain, to reprimand a kid who had already quieted down. We know how Nilin is *now*, after the accident, being blamed for her mother's injury, and presumably years of parental neglect on Scylla's part. The only real differnece between the remixed and real memories is that the reason Scylla wasn't paying attention changed.]]

* This was probably never meant to be a point in the game but [[spoiler: Scylla]] seems delusional from the very beginning. [[spoiler: The car crash was NEVER Nillin's fault. Scylla calmed her and told her never to do such a thing again and then turned around to the back seats, completely missing traffic lights. Nillin wasn't misbehavig at that moment and Scylla completely stopped paying attention to the traffic so Nillin just wasn't responsible. Even if she was screaming from the top of her lungs, Scylla is an adult driving a car for God's sake, you just don't drive a car being oblivious to everything on the road. She must have had put a lot of effort into blaming the whole thing on a kid (she even makes a point out of never forgetting the event).]]

!! Film

* This troper found it suspicious that Edge is never seen in person. He is clearly an important character, being Nilin's MissionControl and [[LaResistance fellow rebel]]. As the player explores Neo-Paris, graffiti of Edge's likeness can be found in various places. [[spoiler: The fact that Edge never shows up in person makes sense after TheReveal that Edge is [=H3O=]. Nilin never meets him face-to-face because Edge doesn't have a face, let alone a physical body.]]

* Whenever Edge contacts Nilin, a portrait of his upper torso appears in the corner of the screen. His colour scheme is limited, at least compared to that of other characters. Edge wears white, black and orange and his portrait has gray skin. [[spoiler: His colour scheme matches the interior of the Conception Cube, where H3O is found.]]

* In the video game, early on while traversing the slums, Nilin falls and injures her left leg. She quickly walks it off and it's never mentioned again, but when you finally see [[spoiler: her mother, Sycilla's memory, you see she injured her left leg]].

* The end of the game involves [[spoiler: the destruction of the memory system, returning everyone to their previous state.]] This includes [[spoiler: Scylla, which means she's about to figure out that you remixed her and that her entire face turn was artificially imposed by you. Those vaguely touching moments of reconciliation are about to turn aggressively toxic.]]
** [[spoiler: Oh, no. It's ''way'' worse than that. Destroying Edge only releases the memories stored in his servers back to their original orders. The memories that Nilin remixed were never discarded, they were only changed: Scylla's memory of the crash is going to remain altered...but everyone connected to the Reconversion project is going to remember exactly what happened, and it's not going to take very long before someone confronts Scylla about her sudden 180-degree personality change and her sudden chumminess with her daughter... y'know, the one she hated so much and so famously, she modeled a security system after it. She's not going to get her memory back, but she IS going to know Nilin tampered with her memories, leaving Scylla just as mistrustful and angry at her daughter for a reason she doesn't even fully remember.]]

* How did Charles and Scylla not know what [[spoiler: Edge/H30]] was doing? He has a very intimate knowledge of what makes them tick, but he's still [[spoiler: a major component of the machine that their livelihood depends on.]] Was there really not a single security officer in the entire company that noticed that the spurious order to open the dam and flood the city [[spoiler: ''came from the Memorize main computer?'']]
* Why would they make Captain Trace a security officer if he can't freaking memorize passwords and has to use kitschy mnemonic riddles to keep them straight, in a world where your memories are literally coded as data in a hard drive you access through an implant in your own neck? That's like hiring a stenographer who can't type and has to sing a nursery rhyme to remember how to get the cap off a pen.

** Alexis is going to spend the rest of her life [[spoiler:believing that it's ''her'' fault that Frank committed suicide]]. Well, unless she has her memory of it wiped. But ''still''.

*** [[spoiler: The bounty hunter's husband isn't going to get his medical treatment. His wife thinks he's dead, and she's on the run from the law because of her involvement with the "errorists". Again, her memories were remixed, not discarded; she has no reason to make herself available for the hospital to contact her about her very much alive husband, who, without someone to pay his medical bills, is very likely going to die there.]]

*** [[spoiler: Edge flooded Neo-Paris and killed a sizeable number of people, many of them Leapers. Where did ''their'' discarded memories go after H30 was destroyed? We know that memories can't be erased or lost once recorded in the Sensen implants, only changed or moved; if they don't go to their original owners, they can really only end up in two places: other Sensen devices, or back into a data storage facility. The former means people remembering horrible things that never actually happened to them. The latter means Edge is resurrected; he came into being immediately after Nilin's memory of the crash was removed from her and put into storage.]]
