"There's a icon on this page, Maxine, just above. It's a portal and it takes you inside Sam Renseiw....You'll see some fine old parts of Kyoto through Renseiw's eyes... and then after about 8 minutes, you're spit out... Anyway, the point is... this is a very odd thing... I mean, it raises all sorts of philosophical-type questions, you know... about the nature of self, about the existence of a soul. You know, am I me? Is Renseiw Renseiw? Do you see what a metaphysical can of worms this portal is? "
