It is.

[ ... sort of. ]

... I was stillborn, more or less. My mother died when she was pregnant with me, and my dad - not my biological father, but the man who raised me, managed to save what little brain activity I had and gave me the ability to see and sense around me through computers and nanomachines. He was able to, more or less, 'grow me' a body that I was transplanted into when I was seven or eight years old.

[ bixing's fingers twitch, just a little. it's not something he really likes talking about, not something he's really told...anyone, besides lin, until it was forcibly ripped from his head here through memories. but scaramouche's situation is so blatantly familiar that it's sticking hard, today. ]

So, it is...but, with someone else, without my old man, I could've easily been exactly the kind of person Scaramouche is.

[ and less in a physical way than an emotional one. ]
