Thank you. [And now that anxiety is fully audible in the breathed-out words. It takes Beckett a moment to gather himself again after.]

So your having a Nobody, despite you still being here talking to me, means that somewhere out there was a you who lost his heart - am I correct? But you did not meet that other, only the Nobody that became of him. And this is something that can happen in any world, in your experience? I've met a vast array of supernatural strangeness in my nights, but never anything of this sort.
