[ well, he'd thought at first to make a joke - never ask a lady her age, and so on, but. this gives him pause. ]

A simulation? [ huh. ] Well... we're all made of memories, I'd argue, but I'm sure that's not what you mean.

[ if only she could treat why she's so old as a joke, she would go along with it. ]

You're not wrong, but... it's kind of literal for me? I'm like a replica. I'm not the real Elysia, but I'm still Elysia because I'm all her memories she uploaded.

[ he watches her for a moment. ]

It's hard to say that you aren't the real Elysia, in that case. Flesh and blood doesn't necessarily make up a person.

[ it's not something she grapples with. it's something she lives, and because she is elysia, copy or not, she is too sure of herself in that way. even so, what he says makes her heart warm. her smile is just that much softer. ]

Yeah. I agree. And I'm real to you, aren't I?

[fried]

You are the only you I've ever known. So - yes. You are real to me.

[ a little smile. ]

[florescences]

That's all that matters to me.

[ hehe ]

Anything I experience is real to me.
