Any questions?
Why would he only keep certain memories? And how would he get those memories. Zack is shot and killed in the field, not in a lab, so how would Cloud get those memories? And if he got his memories, why would he only get ones that fit convieniently into the story? He doesnt 'get' memories for Zack, he's told things by Zack, maybe just in an effort to keep Cloud from giving up and falling asleep (which can be fatal if you're sick/wounded), and he uses those memories as his own.
