Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

That's not what it means at all. It signifies completion of the proof, of course.

For my other life? I don't have anything of the sort, of course. Because that's not my life. That should be obvious.

then you should have no problem contacting public records? or maybe finding that guy and getting him to vouch that you're a stranger!

oh, but we'll pick a nice wide-open space to meet!

Don't be ridiculous. Neither that person or any of his records exist in this world.

because he's you?

[While this really is the theory she's working on with this post, Nui's intentionally being as obtuse as possible while baiting him.]

if you joined 20 parallel universes together by superimposing them over each other, it's not like there'd be 20 of the same person running around!

[Maybe not that obtuse.]

[Even if it feels like she's just playing with him, he doesn't want to give up this argument!]

No. You're just being difficult on purpose, and we both know that.

If all of this is real, than our other selves are part of worlds that were destroyed. Thus, that is the reason why there is no evidence of their separate existences.

And even in that scenario, that does not make all 20 of those beings the exact same person!

well, i do everything i do on purpose, so maybe you're right about at least one thing here, cupcake.

mmmm, but i think there's a hole in your logic. if those worlds were destroyed, we're only here because we were "saved" before they were destroyed, so technically, wouldn't be a remnant of those worlds?

that's what wendy made it sound like anyway!

Enough of that text! Take this seriously!

So a remnant of those worlds live on in us. I can acknowledge that much. But that still does not mean we are those exact same people. As long as we still bear our original memories, we are still not the same as those other lives!
