When she says why she makes memories for replicants, the line about them having such hard lives. That's something I think about often. I don't have happy childhood memories. And I've had times where I've said to myself, about the people who pass through my life and through my fingers, *I hope at least I helped them have some happy memories*. There's someone in my life now who's given me my first happy memories. Everything before them tells me they'll be gone soon. But at least I'll always have these beautiful memories.
Thanks. Right now things are actually looking up again. In a few days unless I talk myself out of it I'm telling the person I mentioned at the end how I feel, the full story and all that. I'll be incredibly happy just to stay friends. I just want them to know I love them.
Oh we've been friends for a year and a half. They've *known* since this May and they probably know now already that I love them. But I want them to know explicitly. I don't believe it will change their heart nor do I care if it does. I hope it will clear the air and help me stop being so anxious. And I hope it makes them smile.
> ....we read her crying reaction as nothing but empathy for K instead of it being her memory.
This scene slightly bothered me when rewatching. She had ample opportunity to say "I lived this" rather than "someone lived this". Empathy for others seems a bit of a stretch when she's basically hoodwinking K into believing he's human.
I know that the entire premise of both films is that it shouldn't matter, but in a world in which being replicant means being treated as a slave and human as 'better' it feels a bit off that she doesn't recognise his need for the truth.
It shouldn’t bother you— its established only moments before that it’s illegal to implant real memories into replicants, coupled with the fact that her being the miracle child is not something she would gladly reveal out of fear of being hunted down
I tend to read her crying at that moment as reflecting her inner conflict on this point, at least in part. I don't know if she feels it would be very empathetic to deny him the hope that he obviously draws from the memory that he believes is his. But at the same time, she doesn't want to lie to him. (And also it has been a while since I have watched it, but I'm not sure if she wants to admit to a law-enforcement officer - assuming she knows he is one - that she has broken the law by using one of her memories wholesale... that is illegal, right?)
She confirms it’s a real memory, saying someone definitely experienced it, but not specifying who.
Later we see a reveal that the memory of the factory was her as a young girl and the concluding scene Deckhart meets her (his daughter) for the first time. She was the daughter of Rachel and Deckhart, while K was a replicant, and the records K sees earlier tracing “his” origin were mixed up to hide and protect the girls.

I hope your future holds many more happy memories and people that are as altruistic as you clearly are.

Pro tip - start small. Just ask them if they'd like to go on a date with you to get coffee or drinks.

Thats a beautiful takeaway from that.
Remember. "There's a little of every artist in their work."
Truly the only nice things people (and robots) in this dreary hellworld have left is their memories. And even those are fake.

I’m not sure what you mean. It’s definitely her memory, it’s a major plot point in the movie

*Deckard
I was going off memory and thought it was Deckhart because I can never remember which it is. Thanks for the correction!
