Until we meet again, Artemis.

Hm? Whose name did I just...

This seems to be more than just implanting. He seems to be awakening them or rekindling her memories.This seems to be further solidified in Savage where him dying causes her to awaken loghrif and accept and merge. Also…not seeing how he’s a parasite. She even says herself she doesn’t care about her past, she doesn’t want to know about her past life her parents etc. So quite literally the only thing tying her down is some girl she’s only known a few months, that’s what i meant by pandering it’s just unrealistic imo.
She doesn't care about the past because she cares about the now. A mindset very much instilled in her from growing up in Eulmore. Loghrif is part of the past which she doesn't care about. Also you need to stop using things happening as savage as an argument. Savage is a what if scenario. The fight in particular comes from a vision we have of an elemental crystal. It has no bearing on Gaia. Also your quote is still very much in line with the implanting of memories which is already something that other Ascians have done in the story. Also EW clearly showed that when you die your soul is wiped clean. The most that you could retain is fleeting concepts. If there characters that remembered things in past lives and such a thing was commonplace, then I'd consider your argument. But it's just not something we see. Instead we see multiple characters that have had their Ancient memories awakened by an Ascian with a memory crystal.
