I don't know what you went through. Did you get your memories wiped by an evil AI, except for painful things? Did you get trapped in a game for six months? Did you get jerked around so hard you didn't know who you were or even if you were a girl or a boy? Did your mind get wiped again after that, leaving you catatonic for days?

I'm not saying pity me. I'm saying that you don't know what it's like. When everything around you is virtual, how do you know that you're even real? You don't. People have said that they think they know who I am offline - maybe. But they're not sure. What if I don't actually exist?
