The prevailing theme in this story is truly time. How it heals wounds, how it erases history, how it changes people and how lonely it is for your time to be longer than others, forcing you to be the sole witness of all that has changed.
Reading this always makes me a tad bit sad. Cuz even though Frieren is embarking on a new journey, this too, will only be memories in a little while.
Chapter 125 really made me think, cuz the old man's life's purpose is to kill her, but he so easily let that goal go because time has made everything insignificant in its might. The people who made that order probably already died, forgotten or deemed it nonsense after a typical lifetime passed. I guess that quote that says love isn't the strongest thing in the universe, but time, is true.
