What's a simulated experience again?

Well, all your memories about your wife and daughter are false - they're like a dream.  Someone's taken advantage of you.  They were trying to make you ghost-hack into some government officials.  Do you understand what I'm saying?

But that... can't be...

I've been to your home.  It's a batchelor's apartment.  No one's there.

But I already told you.  I rented that room when I separated from my wife.

I checked the records.  You've been living there over ten years.  The truth is you've never had a wife or kid.  Like he said, they arent real.  They're a simulated experience.  A fantasy.

Look... this is the photo you showed to your co-worker.  Who do you see?

I had a picture of her.  She was there.  She was... smiling like an angel...

What's her name?  How old is she?  Where'd you meet your wife and when did you marry her?

*sob*

I'm sorry to put you through this, pal.... C'mon.... Who do you see?

been living so long with my pictures of you that i almost believe that the pictures are all i can feel

If this is all a lie what happens?  Will I get my old memory back?

Your original memory will never be fully restored... and there might be residual simulation.  We don't have the technology yet to handle sim-ex erasures.  I'm sorry.

That's all it is.  Information.  Even a simulated experience, a dream, a simultaneous reality and fantasy.  Any way you look at it all the information that a person accumulates in a lifetime is just a drop in the bucket.
