What it means

Our interpretation.

In the Lonesome Road expansion, Ulysses treats knowing the past as a responsibility rather than an optional interest. His question challenges the Courier's relationship to the consequences of earlier actions. The accusation makes identity depend on what someone is willing to remember and face.
