So basically, every time you access a memory, it should not only be possible to rewrite the contents, but reassign which emotions you associate with it. This particularly makes sense in terms of adding a dose of sadness to a memory, as experiencing any great tragedy in your life will cause you to associate many related memories with a sense of profound loss, such as when a loved one passes away. Any time you remember things about that person, you'll also be conscious of the fact that you'll never see them again.

Great piece, it's only a shame this wasn't posted during this board's more active days. This would have been another way to show the haters how much legitimate depth this movie had.
