The original intention behind doing something might become completely unrecognizable as time passed. That was only inevitable.

Some of his vague ideas from those days had seemed like nothing more than elusive daydreams. Yet as he progressed step by step, he discovered that the conditions for achieving them were nearly all in place.

At the time, Mizuki had thought that if he ever failed, or died halfway through, there needed to be someone clever enough to finish what came after in his stead.

That was why he had not told Sakura about some of his ideas concerning this technique.
