[Damnitit. It's hard to reassure the kid that he's going to be okay when he has a really good point.]
You're still you, no matter what else changes. There's a part of you that nothing else can really touch, something that stays constant even if you age or change, or even if you turned into a werewolf. Jinjing is still Jinjing, I'm still me, Luke is still Luke.
You're right that we can't just hope that it'll all be okay. But what you can do is keep your eyes open, keep track of what's changing. If we still remember it, then it still happened. No matter what anybody else says.
