The story is not written as the events happen. All stories, all conversations. They all occur at least at one layer of remove and at least a fraction of a second too late. Stories are as bound to time as we are, and all we can do is steal back a little bit of memory through however many words. All we can do with these memories pinned in place is regard them from a second level of distance and make guesses. Guesses as to meaning, guesses as to content, guesses as to the context in which those memories might have led to their origin.
