And of course, there were broader more philosophical implications to these questions Di Tou had as well. For instance, if this all never happened, if all the memory was gone, all the traces were gone… as if nothing happened, did the him now, in this moment really exist?
It was sort of like asking if someone were to create a perfect clone, or to 'teleport' someone by dismissing all their atoms and reforming them in another place, was that truly 'you' or was it just an identical copy with the same memories who was born at that moment.
There were many ways to philosophize this, and each person would have their own answer, but when Di Tou asked it right now, he realised he already knew in his heart what his answer was, and that answer was why this was so scary, and why he had been forcefully pushing this idea side.
No…
He wouldn't be the same person.
