People only have substance within the memories of other people, and that's why there were all kinds of me's. There weren't a lot of me's per se; I was just inside all sorts of people, that's all.
It's always interesting to see where my partner finds points of entry into the world of anime. He recently asked me to watch serial experiments lain (シリアルエクスペリメンツレイン) with him, which I have not revisited since it was originally released in the US.
My immediate response: the theme song is literally everything.
Okay, let’s see. I guess that I’m confused again. Am I here, or am I there? I don’t know. Over there, I’m everywhere. I know that. But here is connected to over there, is that right? But then where is the real me after all is said and done? Oh! There is no real me, I guess that’s it. I only exist inside those people aware of my existence. But what about this me that I can hear talking right now? It’s me… Isn’t it? This me that’s talking… Who is it!? Who’s me??
