It was the only one I looked at. I didn't want to pry into all of your memories or Era's or... anyone else's.
So I grabbed all that I could. [ Opening the sack to reveal a collection of files. ] This isn't all of them. Less than half but they started disappearing or couldn't be collected. But I wanted you to have them.
... This one's the last time Era and I spent time together, just before... something really bad happened to Mira.
I fell the rest of the way to darkness, for a little while... so I wasn't able to save Era from... losing himself.
[ Vanitas just gives a "nonchalant" shrug. ]
And, of course, that wasn't the first or the last time I let people down pretty badly.
[ ... But, now, his expression is dimming a little. He leans to look at the folders, but it's clear this is probably just buying time until he can pull it together again. ]
I'm sorry it brought up a bad memory. Even if those help make up who we are too.
[ He knows he has a lot of those. ]
And I'm glad you seem to be better - Era too.
[ Coming over to give him a hug and ruffle his hair gently. ]
What I don't know is why they were in the computer to begin with. Though I can guess why some of them were snatched away from me. Sora was protecting them. Maybe so that these can't hurt either of you.
Sorry you got my memory problems. If you don't have one - or a bunch - already, I'm gonna get you a journal so you can write all of the important things down. It's helped me a few times.
[ Pets the back of Vanitas' head. ]
Well, these files are for you. Watch them or don't. Just don't throw them away, you might be ready to look at them all someday. Or Era might want them. Think of them as your home movies.

That's... what my guess would be, yeah. Maybe he just wants to make sure all my lost memories don't vanish forever.
