[Did she really just…make a joke? He became vulnerable, very briefly, with her..and she was making a joke? Immediately some of the things his clone said rushed through his head. “She knows that you’re down here somewhere..so why hasn’t she come looking for you?” “I guess she just sees you as that bloke she songs and gives her the answers on her homework.” “She obviously doesn’t care for you like she says she does.”
No. He shook his head. He wasn’t going to let that clone get to him like this.]
Yeah, I really didn’t think that much about that. I guess I thought that you had my clones to keep you company. At least, that’s what he was telling me. Which I guess makes sense because we’re all the same person and it’d be impossible to tell the difference and- [He stops, realizing that what he saying, isn’t making any sort of sense whatsoever.] I probably sound like some sort of freak right now.
Actually, you'd probably sound like more of a freak if you were all nonchalant and certain. You're a person, not like an android or a robot or something, which means it's normal for things to be weird, confusing, and yeah, freaky.
You know what I think? No matter how identical you might be to someone or multiple someones, no matter how many memories or traits you have in common, no matter how many people they can fool into thinking they're you...they're not. I mean, if a clone has to pretend to be you, even if he does it real well, it's just that -- pretend. As in faked, not natural, not real, because he is different.
And for the record, I definitely would choose you any day over a clone who doesn't talk, one who called me the "insecure twin" and insulted my snogging skills, and even one who is super positive.
