&¨&&¨&&¨¨& WHEN I WAS IN EIGHT GRADE I DECIDED I ¨&&¨&¨¨&&&
¨&&¨&&¨&¨& WAS DEAD. MY SPIRIT HAD LEFT MY BODY, ¨&¨&&&¨&¨¨
¨&¨&&¨&&&& NEVER TO RETURN. ¨&&&¨¨&&&¨
¨&&&¨&&¨¨¨ &&¨¨&¨&¨¨&
&&¨¨&&¨&¨¨ I REMEMBER SITTING IN MY PARENTS CAR ON &¨&¨&&&&¨&
¨¨&¨&¨&&&¨ A CLOUDY, WATERY DAY, GETTING A RIDE &&&&&¨¨¨&&
&¨&&&&&¨¨& SOMEWHERE. IT FELT LIKE I HAD SOLVED &¨¨¨¨&¨¨&¨
&&&¨¨¨¨&¨& SOME GREAT PUZZLE. I'VE SOLVED NO ¨&¨¨¨&&¨&&
¨¨¨&¨¨¨&&& PUZZLES SINCE THEN. &&&¨¨&¨&&¨
¨¨¨&&¨¨&¨¨ ¨¨¨&¨&&&¨&
&¨¨&¨&¨&&¨ INSTEAD, I'VE BEEN MINDLESSLY PILOTING &¨¨&&&¨¨&&
¨&¨&&&&&¨& THIS BODY AROUND. I STILL GIVE IT LIFE, ¨&¨&¨¨&¨&¨
¨&&&¨¨¨¨&& SOMEHOW. LIKE A GOLEM, AND I TRY NOT TO &&&&&¨&&&&
&&¨¨&¨¨¨&¨ CARE TOO MUCH, BUT I DO. IT'S A ¨¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨
&¨&¨&&¨¨&& CONTAMINATED GOLEM, THIS ONE. PURITY &¨¨¨¨&¨&¨¨
&&&&&¨&¨&¨ CLOUDED BY MY ECHO. AFTERGLOW OF MY ¨&¨¨¨&&&&¨
&¨¨¨¨&&&&& SPIRIT. ¨&&¨¨&¨¨¨&
