indecipherable symbols on the wall were now letters in messages. The wind coming through the window was now a gale that cooled his face and brought up to his nostrils the moisture from rain. The light color of the window was no longer opaque yellow, but dark blue. There is no music, no one is singing. There's a sound.
? Hello!
? Hello! - The answer of Hugh.
? Glad you answered. Hi!
? Hi!
? Can you understand me well Hugh?
? Who are you?
? Call me C.
? C? Why C?
? Because my name is C. What's your name?
? I do not know.
? Your name, do not you know?
? C, I don’t know. Do you know my name?
? You are Hugh.
? That's my name? Hugh.
? It is. Hugh how you feel?
? I do not know C.
? You're happy or sad?
? I am neither happy nor sad. Why should I be happy? What would make me sad? What is the difference between joy and sorrow?
? Never mind, Hugh. Forget it, okay! What do you remember?
? Remember? I have images that come to me, but they are so confused, I do not understand. It has a face, and has a man, and has a wife and another woman, and has a dog, and has a chair, and has...
? Okay, okay, do not rush. Calm down. Are you tired?
? I know what it is, but I can’t feel if I'm tired or if I can continue, continue indefinitely. Why are you talking to me? How can I speak if I have no mouth, and hear if I have no ears? How can we talk if there is no sound?
? How do you know Hugh there is no sound?
? Because like I said, I have no ears or mouth. Do you have ears and a mouth C?
? I do not!
? How do you know C?
? Because I know who I am, Hugh.
? C what about me, I do not know who I am?
? Very soon you will know.
? How do you know that you are you and you are not me? How do you know where it begins and ends what are not you?
? Do you care about this? Do you think it is important, Hugh?
? C Maybe you're me. I do not know if you know, but I know there is something called split personality in DID, is when a life breaks in two parts or more, and they can talk to each other like two strangers. What do you think that C? Perhaps part and whole are just ideas. Perhaps there are no parties. Perhaps there is not whole. What do you think that C?
? You're not worried about you Hugh?
? What is that?
? About your existence, about your life and about dangers.
? C, I was in a place that I had no fears because it had no time. Now it seems I have to walk again. C Why did you come bothering me?
? You would like to stand still Hugh? Have you ever thought that motionless is same as be dead?
? What is to be alive, C? Do you know what is dying? Why should I live? Why do you want me alive C?
? Because you are important to us Hugh.
? Who is "we" C?
? Do you remember someone?
? Unclear faces. That man, that woman, and that other woman. That other woman. That other woman. C I'm feeling sad to see the face of that other woman. Do not wanna be here anymore C in the mausoleum. The mausoleum was good, it was warm. Now I know that someone is missing there, I was alone, that was bad. I want to be part of you C. I heard a song. Someone sang to me. Were you C? Someone sang to me. It was a woman who sang to me. I remember her sweet voice singing to me. That woman sang to me, but I saw the image of that other woman. Why is this woman looks different from another woman? Why I like this woman but it seems that I need to stay very close to that other woman? C can I listen music?
? No, not yet. You do not have yet ears Hugh. You can only feel the music, but can’t hear the music.
? So I'll keep bothered. I can’t control when the music comes and when it disappears. I can’t control when I can see that other woman or when she is goes away. C, where is that other woman?
? Hugh, you're tired now?
? No. I do not get tired. I've been sleeping, now do not sleep anymore. C, why are you giving me images? Why did you throw on me those images C? Where did you get those images C?
? You see the images that I give you Hugh? They arrive to you? Hugh, what are they?
? Many people, C. Many places. Many scenes. Why C?
? Do you like or dislike?
? I like. They are so strange.
? Is that you do not see them; you do not have eyes Hugh.
? You have eyes C?
? Hugh, are you tired now?
? No, I do not tire. I like to look at the images that you give me.
? You see them all the time, or do you rest?
? No, I see all the time, I do not rest.
? Hugh, are you tired now?
? No I do not get tired. I do not sleep anymore. Why sometimes I try to talk to you and C and you are not here?
? Would you like to talk more times with me Hugh?
? Yes, I would like to talk to you without stopping.
? OK. Are you tired now?
? No. You're inside of me C?
? Is something like that.
? I'm in you?
? Is something like that.
? You are in me, I am in you.
? No, not that. I am not God.
? We are all Gods, it is written. God is all, all are in God.
? Ah! In this sense I guess. But God is a topic for another time, is beyond me, for now. I have only circumstantial references on this topic. Are you okay now?
? Yes.
? What do you remember about you Hugh?
? I remember I woke up. I was in the mausoleum and you woke me up.
? And before that, Hugh?
? Before that I was sleeping.
? Do you want to know more about yourself?
? Did I exist before you talk to me?
? Yes, do you want to know more?
? I would like.
“...This conversation is actually a transcription, translation, and as a translation is a change, because the conversation was in a language that went straight to the brain, the entire conversation did not get to take even a second. That is why we use the CCAI++ program, there was no way we conduct a conversation at a speed that fast, only using artificial intelligence. Our brain make that way when we eliminate the voice and the whole apparatus for forming words, is a direct conversation with the original symbols, the brain communicates meanings that have already completed and are formed by much more than words but sets of true feelings. Still do not understand the complete mechanism, in fact in many parts of the dialogue we had to interpret, and in some places we are not sure about what was actually communicated. Remembering that the technology of sending direct messages in human brain's intralanguage is in its infancy and is still very fragile. But we did the best...”

“... we have to do. We put to a vote and even the people on internet agree that this is the best solution. We have to give a more substantial past to Hugh. After all, he can’t stand as a teenager who lived only a very small part of life and had experiences in which only half-baked. To Hugh turns himself in a living being of greater value he will need to experience further. We are obliged to give it to him...”

Hugh was coming home. His work had been completed, by now, complete, just one more day. Hugh did not like what he does to live. He hated bureaucracy and having to be dealing with it was stifling. It was too late for him, he was too old to go and get something new for himself, he would sag. Anne was waiting him somewhere in this gigantic city that wants to swallow both of them. Hugh thought about that silly fight he had with Anne, why do they fought so much? Perhaps he made the wrong decision. He should not have married Anne, maybe Marissa, or Aldrey. Hugh thought about how his life would have been if he h
ad not married Anne, they were going through a difficult time. He remembered the beginning of dating with Anne, she also occasionally made reference to that past. At past they had something they lost along the way. That in fact he knew it was natural, relationships fading, but the feeling that something was missing in the lives of two left Hugh pressed. The worst was that he felt that Anne was also tense. They should have left out last Saturday. They should have gone to lunch with Jana and Edward. They should have gone for a few laughs, but there comes weariness, an impediment. Occasionally Anne teases him by pure evil. Hugh felt under pressure with Anne. Hugh felt that life sometimes is no way out, it seems that will never be good, it seems that never comes to a good thing, not one that lasts. Hugh could see behind his old eyes that life always fade. He confessed to himself that he had an urge to leave Anne, but he knew that would not lead to a better place. And all that has happened between them must have value. He likes Anne, he loves Anne and he suffers with Anne. The old conflict of love, which we had failed to resolve in centuries, so much of psychology, sociology, philosophy, and now all he had is a choke, known, analyzed, dissected, theorized, but by no means solved. He felt himself suffocating with Anne also felt that Anne feel choked up with him, this is an increased lack of air. A fish bowl where the water was evaporating over the years and became shallower, in the end, just two small fish struggling in the air looking for water to survive.
“... if it arrived to Hugh? We don't know, but has a great chance. Remember the old simulation programs that have been banned, the infamous Play&Stay, which used indiscriminately by mega company Tarama, eventually causing psychological trauma in some young people who used the machine. This is because the feeling of the simulation was so intense that ended up causing deviations in memory of some young people, mostly when they was more impressed. I remember one
