existential 008 [video]
[It is dusk, and the area behind Sephiroth is too dark to ascertain exactly where she is, but it is clear that she is alone, in a place where tall trees cast shadows. She seems thoughtful, but not overly emotional, perhaps even slightly detached, as she speaks.]
There is an idea that has been preoccupying me for some time. Once, I spoke to the Queen and one of her associates--or subordinates--and they said certain things to me that I have not been able to forget.
I was told that we have not truly been removed from our worlds, but that only a part of us has been taken, and while we are here, our other selves, our true selves, continue on in our daily lives.
It is possible that we are merely puppets, simulacra made for the Queen's use or entertainment, and not the people we believe ourselves to be. What if what was taken from us was a copy of our memories, which was then given to a false form? If so, when we leave this place, we will disappear. Our existence and our time here will have been meaningless. Those who have vanished and then return claim to have new memories from their own worlds, but what if they are nothing but new constructs with more stolen memories?
I know of no way to test this theory, but it troubles me. If that were the nature of our existence, I do not know if I would choose to exist.

Do you think it is acceptable to create copies of someone without their consent? You would not mind multiple copies of yourself being created?
no subject
But, the situation remains, whether we are copies or not, we were brought here against our free will and forced to play along with the queen's little game.

Such an existence would be a lie. However, there is no reason to assume we would cease to exist if she were destroyed. We don't know enough about this place or the nature of the Queen to say that for certain. I would be willing to take that risk.
