With Chapter 14 recently ended, it brings one interesting question: why Lifewonders has yet to reveal the content of Mononobe's memory in Curren's possession, despite that the portions in Bertro and Isaac's possession were revealed consecutively in Chapter 11 and 12. In story, Curren explains that the portion in her possession was strangely locked far stronger than the other two, which means that it's something very important to the point that Mononobe doesn't want it to be seen by anyone. The question is, what is it?
First, we need to have a look at the three plans by the three guilds, simplified:
Plan A : Merge everyone's consciousness together, so that equality and eternal peace can be achieved.
Plan B : Grow through eternal war and strife.
Plan C : Make someone into the God and havw them guide the world for the better.
However, those plans are pretty much flawed, since in the first place they all stemmed from the trio's issues, as well as the issues of the Representatives in their factions:
Bertro (Robert) has an issue regarding his humanity: Is he still a human even after all the modifications that were done to his body? The Warmongers' Reps suppressed their own feelings to live in the "eternal battle" for their world.
(AI) Isaac's issue is one own identity: Are you still yourself even after all the loop ordeal? Is AI copy of your the real you? The Invaders' Reps suppressed their own feelings to create equality and act as the "balance" for their world.
Curren's issue is still unknown, but given the problem with Utopia and the Game and I believe that her issue is that she actually has a massive fear of the future that is about to come, and that only God is capable of controlling and changing the future. The Rule Makers' Rep suppressed their own feelings to guide the world for the better.
Note that both Invaders and Rule Makers have a very similar issue, but the difference is that the Invaders are more clear in their own feelings in their own "desire", while the Rule Makers ignore them.
Then we have a look at the memories given to Bertro and Isaac:
Bertro's Memory (Caring Love) - Even if you're an amalgamation of various "evils" of the world, Mononobe still loves and cares for you as yourself and wish for you to have a happy life. In other words, people don't grow through war and strife, but through love and care.
Isaac's Memory (Love & Hate) The hatred shown from the memory is undoubtedly the other side of love: the more he loves you, the more he suffers from having to see you die again and again, and even though it creates "hatred" it also allows him to love you even more. In the other words, both sides of Mononobe (love and hate) are true, all of you who went through the loops and the you who are here are true, and both the "real" Isaac and "AI" Isaac are true.
With all the hints shown so far, the only possible conclusion is that Mononobe's memory in Curren's possession is his "Memory of Love & Desire".
- "I want to be with you forever. I don't want you to leave me alone. I don't want to give you to anyone. I want you to look only toward me and not anyone else". All the feelings that may sound selfish, but undoubtedly passionate feelings of love, and the real reason why it was locked away the deepest. Even the omnipotent King Solomon also has a human heart. Everyone has their own feelings that they do not want to suppress for the sake of anyone else. No one is capable of loving everyone else equality or be truly impartial, since they will always have someone special for them. Mononobe already knew, Wakan Tanka Infinity already knew, the Protagonist already knew.
The memories aren't just the love from Mononobe for the Protagonist, they're also the answers needed to save the trio, and for Curren is "don't try to control the future, but believe in it".
