' 03.00 07:32.00 'It's better not to talk about a guy's past. ' 03.00 07:37.10 'Talking about the past troubles me. ' 03.00 07:41.20 'Is it because you lost your family in an accident and ' 03.00 07:44.20 'don't have any relatives? Stop thinking weird things. ' 03.00 07:49.20 'I don't have what they call a hometown. ' 03.00 07:53.20 'Sometimes I feel like I'm asleep. ' 03.00 08:04.10 'There are a lot of things that I can't remember. ' 02.00 08:07.10 'Things you can't recall? ' 02.00 08:09.10 'Due to the accident, I guess. ' 03.00 08:11.10 'All my memories as a child are blurred. ' 03.00 08:15.11 'That's why I hate the past.

' 03.00 08:35.10 'If all the stars in the Milky Way were put together and ' 03.00 08:38.10 'reduced to the size of a softball they could be put inside you. ' 03.00 08:44.29 'The human brain is more advanced than any computer, ' 03.00 08:47.29 'with its continual processing of all one's memories. ' 03.00 08:52.12 'The longer one lives, the more memories one has. ' 03.00 08:56.00 'If they're not sorted properly one only has the past. ' 03.00 09:01.20 'Old memories are stored away so that they can be recalled ' 03.00 09:04.20 'in the future. ' 02.00 09:11.25 'I guess. ' 04.00 09:13.25 'There was a scientist who tried to calculate how long this thing ' 03.00 09:17.25 'called "the present" lasts. ' 04.00 09:21.10 'According to him, "the present" on average lasts for 8 seconds. ' 03.00 09:26.20 'After 8 seconds it becomes the past, ' 03.00 09:30.20 'flowing in the spirit of life. ' 03.00 09:34.00 'The past doesn't matter, ' 03.00 09:37.00 'as long as you live in the present. ' 02.00 09:40.00 '8 seconds of the present?
