Who among you has experienced one of these “simulations” before?

[that’s right - no introduction or pleasantries, mello just cuts right to what he wants to know. he’s not here to make friends, just collect whatever information he can - which shouldn’t be too hard, he thinks. people typically enjoy talking about themselves.]

This isn't a very reassuring answer.

It's not the kind of thing you sugarcoat.

What're you picturing?

I'm not sure, but I don't like the idea of living as someone else. I have enough trouble being in my head. Never mind anyone else's life...

You'll still be you. Just different. Circumstances, habits, opportunities, those can change. Even stuff you thought was inescapable.

You'll see it in other people too. Good and bad.

What matters is what you take from it. You can dismiss it, deny it, try to drink it away, or you can change. Maybe not who you are, but your idea of yourself, at least.

Still not very reassuring.

But we also don't have a choice, do we?

No. Not about this part.

But the aftermath's up to you.

Somehow I doubt we get much choice in it either.

Why wouldn't you?
