Maybe that would be best. Certainly it would be simplest.

[It would be less painful to simply leave his memories about his old life behind, to live only in the present, caring only for the future awaiting at the end of existence. But would that be wisest? It's Liem's memories of his old world that make him doubt the Regent in this one. Wouldn't casting those memories aside be the same as turning a blind eye to painful realities just for his own peace of mind?]

I also don't think I could understand the Kenoma if I stopped caring about the world I left behind. If I didn't mourn what it was, I doubt that I could find it in me to pursue the destruction of what's left.
