The memory does not show any of the flashbacks or old-man!Five, and simply has him narrate what happened to Luther. Screenshots of the scene at this album. Covers Season one Episode 5 2:50 to 6:17 and 9:00 to 11:40
DESCRIPTION
- The memory starts with a nearly-sobered up Valour explaining to his brother that the world is ending in 4 days. Luther is upset by Valour keeping it hidden until then, but Five explains that saying it or not wouldn't have changed anything, since his siblings already tried to stop whatever causes the apocalypse and failed.
- There is confirmation that they died horribly, and that Valour did end up finding their bodies while stuck in the apocalypse. Though Valour is very clearly trying to keep his emotions in check as he narrates this, it is obvious that recalling it is painful
- Luther tries to help in finding a solution and a way to stop the Apocalypse, but his idea is something Valour already tried, and it lead to nowhere. Before they can discuss the matter any further, they are interrupted by another one of their siblings, Diego, who storms into the room majorly upset and pissed at Valour
- Apparently Valour caused no less than three incidents just by existing, and that ultimately lead to the death of one of Diego's friends
- Valour explains that the people after him work for his former employer, a woman called the Handler, who is trying to stop them. Unsurprisingly none of this actually makes Diego any less upset, and despite Valour trying to persuade him out of it, he storms away with the intention of going after the people who killed his friend
- At this point, Luther insists to hear more about Valour's former employer. He explains that while he was stuck in the apocalypse, eventually a woman found and approached him, offering him a job in the Temps Commission - an organization tasked with the preservation of time. Their objective is to keep things "as they should be", and eliminate anyone who might influence or alter time in any way. According to them, the end of the world was supposed to happen.
- Valour explains that he accepted the offer, and in turn became "the perfect instrument for rehabilitation of the time continuum" - in other words, a really, highly skilled killer. Although no one was as good as him, he makes a point to mention that there were others like him, people who exist out of time and that were recruited like he was. Unlike them, however, Valour was trying to find a way to go back in time so he could save the world. Eventually he found the right equation, so he broke his contract and traveled back in time.
- Apparently having actual morals, Luther seems confused by Valour being a hit man, and tries to find reassurance that his brother is not, like, a total asshole, by going "but you had a code right?". THERE WAS NO CODE.
- As Luther keeps pushing on how that is murder, Valour pushes back by stating it was the only way he could get back, and advises Luther to grow up. "There's no such things as good guys or bad guys. There's just people, goin' about their lives. But when the world ends, all those people die, including our family."
IMPRESSIONS:
- Some of the details he provides here were things he had guessed. He knew his family likely died, and knew he had to have brought trouble with him when he traveled back in time. Though he thought of it as a possibility he did not actually imagine the world ended, however, and had assumed (hoped) all the devastation was around the Academy. Apparently not!
- Two siblings names! This memory also gives a good glimpse in what Luther and Diego's respective personalities are.
- This memory does push him toward his tendency to focus on the larger picture, and hammers in the whole "everything is worth it to save the world / nothing matters if everyone is going to die anyway, so might as well"
- Which yeah also mean his obsession with saving the world and stopping the apocalypse (and saving his family) is also hammered in
- Being addressed as Five somehow does not bother him at all when it's his siblings saying the name
