[The question, Zenyatta hopes, represents some kind of progress for the Hollow Knight's own uniquely fraught perception of itself. In this instance, at least, Zenyatta does not have to think too long upon his answer; he has given it countless times before, to human and omnic alike.]
An interesting question, my friend. In the most basic sense "I" am the ever-evolving product of my experiences, memories and actions, as viewed through the lens of my uniquely coded processor.
If that were all, one could suggest that an individual built to my precise specifications and taken through a precise replica of my life would theoretically be the same person. But I also believe that there exists in all beings a certain spark of life- perfectly and ineffably unique- that plays the wildcard: the soul.
