(I ain't loud, I'm-- You're loud. Shut up and let him look. You're the one who was so adamant about this. -- yeah, okay, fine. I'll shut up.)
Well, if they wanted to prove to someone that the Sergeant was there all the time, having them literally poking around in their brain is one way to do it.
Most of the memories are new, with only a few showing signs of being actually older than the Soldier's arrival in Beacon. There are positive memories from Beacon, but that's not what they're looking for. The glimmer of older positive memories is behind the mental, metaphorical version of an electrified fence and a field of ice. The Soldier can't get past it, not on purpose, because it can't see it. But there are holes in the "fence" here and there that Aziraphale, from the outside, can see and take advantage of.
Much of what's beyond the barrier is dark, still, too. Aziraphale will have to wade through a lot of torture, murder, and fear to get to something that shines bright. The Soldier can only sense echoes of what he's doing, now, stuck on the other side of the "fence" made by constant wipes and the near-death of cryofreeze. Whatever Aziraphale finds, he'll have to literally bring it back.
Take your pick of peaceful moments from the war, Aziraphale... or anything from Brooklyn. Even the bad times in Brooklyn are lit with a glow of love.
