“It’s a difference in the way we think, Alba. I don’t blame you for it, I’m envious of you. I don’t
know when it happened, it’s also unrecognizable to me. The current me awoke at the point in time
when my active self died. I gained the knowledge that the old Touko had recorded so it won’t be
any different than before. After this I guess I’ll produce a completely identical puppet and put it to
sleep.
