Heath still could not remember. After all, he only remembered some of the more important details from his previous life, which he found rather regrettable. He had heard of a condition called hyperthymesia. Although it was a medical condition, people who had it possessed extraordinarily strong memories. It could even be said that they could remember perfectly clearly whether they had wet their pants while going to the bathroom at the age of five, though that was a rather strange way to put it.

All he could say was that anything labeled a medical condition usually was not a good thing, and people with hyperthymesia were no exception. Although they possessed extraordinarily strong memories, they endured tremendous psychological pressure every day, because their memories formed automatically. They could not simply choose not to remember something, and even tastes and sensations were all committed to memory.
This often brought them great suffering and psychological pressure.
Memory was a fascinating thing. Many people thought their memories were excellent and that they had no need to worry about forgetting anything, but the simplest test was to try recalling things from roughly ten years ago.

This was because the human brain had limited storage space for memories, so miscellaneous, unnecessary information was discarded, leaving only important information, such as passwords.
But even passwords were not remembered every minute of every day. In fact, many people had experienced setting a password themselves, only to forget it
