Fortunately, this torture didn't continue forever. When the last memory from his brain was copied and distilled, the small holographic figure in his mind finally opened its eyes. This signified that he had become aware of his ego.
His ego is his identity and it is what drives him. Now that he knows this, the illusion can't bind him anymore. So the illusion of his memories then broke apart.
What appeared before him after he escaped the illusion of his memories was a world of darkness. Everything was dark and empty around him. But there was a bright screen in front of him that was showing the world beyond the darkness.
When he looked through this screen, he saw his hands. They felt attached to his body, and he could control them, but they looked very far away from him when looking at them through the screen.
