minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 年前Does that mean that one of us isn’t real?
minus-squarenovibe@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-21 年前Like a dream, you are just me. The floor I walk is me. The air I breathe is me. Everyone I meet, everything I feel, is just me. Nothing is real except I.
