“I don’t know anything about myself anymore!” | “Well... How do you think you know that person you were a second ago is the same person you are now? A continuous stream of memories. Given only that, we all create illusions within ourselves, saying that we each have only one fixed persona.” | “Sensei, I’m scared that my other self will do something that I don’t know about...” | “It’s alright. There’s no way illusions can come to life.”
