You're not Lancer anymore. You're Diarmuid. How do you know the difference?
... What kind of question is that?
It's a public question for anybody to answer.
Well, I...circumstances changed, and my name changed to reflect them. That's how.
Are you a different person from Lancer, Diarmuid?
...
[Were you looking to ask an Armor-Piercing Question, V/V? You did.]
I can't...really say for certain. It would be wrong to claim I am another person now, but there are things I did as Lancer I would no longer do now.

I have lots of names. I'm an Aristotles, Type-Venus, Heavens Corpse. I have names given to me by people I've never spoken to. I've never really had to use a name with someone face-to-face.

I don't need to know what modern humans think. What do you think?
I'm not sure what it takes for someone to truly know who they are. I would imagine understanding oneself to be no simple matter, surely.

That's true. I can tell you what, if you want to listen to me talk for an hour, but I don't know who I am yet.
Perhaps you'll have the chance to find out here.
Given some time, I'm sure you'll find some kind of answer.
I simply go by the name given to me at the time, really.
[And his true name, but he doesn't mention it at all, whoops.]
