Rejedo shook his head at Amon's comparison between the Fate Trojan Horse and spectral invasion.

Even the words he had spoken within past memories were recalled by their present selves after he said them.
For now, only their memories had changed, but it was not that he could not make larger-scale alterations. There was simply no need. If the scope of influence became broad enough, this sort of replacement would actually be more flawless than the Fate Trojan Horse.
