The Sum of Those Departs

"Where am I? I know you, don't I?"

"I think perhaps."

"I'm positive I've met you somewhere."

"It is more than possible."

"But you aren't from here."

"Oh but I am, my name is R-I-C."

"What does that mean? Your voice, your manner, they're so familiar."

"Always follow your instincts and temper them with your heart."

"That's my father's saying!"

"I know."

"But how- who are you?"

"I told you, my name is R-I-C... Re-In-Carnation."

"You're my father!"

"And the sum of many others. as you have just become."

"So I died?"

"Yes."
