"Why?"
"They only have a seven-second memory. All their happiness, anger, sadness, and pain, no matter how intense, are forgotten after seven seconds. Their lives may be incredibly short, but every seven seconds, they get a whole new life. How happy that must be."
"Sometimes being able to forget is a kind of happiness."
"But people are too greedy. They cling to their pain and that little bit of happiness within it, getting bogged down and refusing to let go."
"But..."
"Hmm?"
"Fish don't only have seven-second memories. Wasn't that debunked ages ago?"
"..."
Attention:
1: No CP. Romance is not part of the plan.
2: Don't write blurbs when you're not in your right mind, or they'll turn out like this. But I'm too lazy to change it.
3: "You should have a heart of your own."
