Victor's Annotated Report
Victor’s annotated copy of Donald’s report contains red notes and a revealing blank area around an account of surviving memories.
Story so far
Anna Thurman said Victor covered the original report with notes, including “This is why.” Donald Keene initially wondered whether that annotation explained Victor’s suicide. The notes appear in red across Donald’s report; the reproduced annotations include blood spatters from the document on Victor’s desk when he died. Prominent phrases include “The One who remembers” and “An end to them all.”
Donald now overlays two reports to identify the material Victor wrote around. A blank area among the annotations corresponds to an account of an inductee whose great-grandmother remembered earlier times. The untouched passage gives Donald a specific part of the underlying report to examine alongside Victor’s words.
