I felt so sorry for the memory-imprint Lyra.![:fluttercry:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/fluttercry.png)

![:heart:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/heart.png)
I don't believe I could've gotten through that confrontation without breaking down crying if I was in Soren's place.
This whole story.. It just.. Doesn't stop amazing me! When I first started reading this, I thought it would be just one of those switch-bodies-goof-around -stories, but you have made this something amazing! Thank you so much! This is certainly one of my favourites on the site.
Wait, even Luna is referring to him as a she. That dude has got it ruff.
Indeed Luna, that was rather easy. But can a memory imprint be spiteful and go back on it's word? As for him- her... uh... the human, well, actually not even that. When the spell un-exchanges minds, the old body is now a filly so I guess it's "her" no matter which way things turn out. Thank goodness that filly-body is a pegasus and not another unicorn, because that memory-backup-horn would be Lyra too. Ack.
Maybe it's a little consolation prize but he- I mean, she will learn how to fly and that's got to be awesome for an ex-human. Sleeping on and working with clouds is pretty neat too.
1976866 Well, he is female now.
1977018
That may be true physically, but it might also mean mentally he sees himself as female.
The conversation is taking place in his mind with Luna, he can be what he wants.
Wow, I always Luna was the blunter. I believe you mean I always thought or knew Luna was the blunter. Also great story so have moustache![:moustache:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/moustache.png)
1977053 That is incredibly well thought-out. I hadn't thought of it quite like that, but that was very thoughtful, and I can't help but agree.
That was a little easy, but lets not drag this out.
amazing!
I don't even know what my reaction to this chapter is. I think I'll go with "stunned," since I was hit with so many different feels.
I've forgotten about some of the finer details from earlier in the story, and I don't really remember any head trauma. I don't even remember if Soren knew about the memory overwrite before the nightmare happened. Did the head trauma and paranoia have changed the representation of Head-Lyra into that monster. Or did his nightmare force Head-Lyra into the role of that monster without her being able to control it?
Obviously he's retained some sanity.
1977120 The head trauma could be attributed to hitting himself in the head with the soon to explode telephone, or his adventure down the stairs on no legs. The 'nightmare' occurred almost immediately after Lyra and Twilight discussed the Unicornian Memory Redundancy with him. Being a nightmare, his subconscious placed that which was attacking his mind--Head-Lyra--into the role of a twisted monstrosity aiming to consume him. Both were only attempting to defend themselves, but in the end Soren was the one to come out on the better end of it.
That clear things up?![:scootangel:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/scootangel.png)
1977096 Actually, he was the one to tell Twilight that it was okay to use the feminine pronoun. He 'accepted it because he had to', but accepted it nonetheless. He was more or less just surprised that he didn't take on his original form for one last time. As an aside, what do you mean on the part of surrealism?
"All in all, this was almost too easy."
STAPH LUNA! STAPH!
Purge of Soren will begin in 3.2.1..
Of course, clop memories...![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
I'm sorry, but was making the memory backup turn out to be self aware supposed to get me to sympathize with it? Cause really, for me, that utterly failed and actually makes me see Soren's overwriting as even more horrible for him/her, because it's not just some 'automatic backup program' that's trying to fix something that's not actually broken, it's something self-aware trying to do so ON PURPOSE, meaning it was essentially knowingly trying to kill him. And then Soren gets the guilt bat for simply acting in self-preservation?
Sorry if I'm taking this the wrong way, but I have an harder time sympathizing with it than I did before.
Lyra was too easy.
Luna, you dog, she's taken already!
I can't help but be reminded of dot hack "glitches" when you discribe Psyra. Does the room itself have any symbolism?
And the fact that Psyra was blasted out of her area leads me to believe that Soren was doing a good job at wiping her as she was to him.
1977163 Yes it did, thanks. Head-Lyra was actively attacking Soren (in self defense), and Soren just visualized her as that monster. I agree with 1976990 that that was too easy, but I don't think she'll go back on her word. I seriously doubt that anyone could successfully lie to Luna inside the dreamscape/mind.
1977742
I agree. Memory backup is self aware and attempting to erase a preexisting persona, so it doesn't win any pity points.
Especially since once Lyra is back in control it will probably get the next backup and be all better.
I mean it is a Self Aware Quasi-Offsite backup of the Lyra 1.0 operating system.
The real Lyra OS will simply restore, replace and update with new content like overwriting and old save file.
Lyra will probably not be happy about it though.
Of course what this Backup managed to delete of Soren, that is gone for good.
So Soren gets chunks of his persona permanently replaced, and Lyra gets a headache and a trippy sense of deja vu.
...Lolis, eh?![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
1978442 On the contrary. Being able to admit that you're not quite sure how to explain your thoughts does not make you a fool or any less respectable. A fool knows only what s/he knows. A wise wo/man knows what s/he doesn't know.![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
I always try to have the most fun I can with my writing. If writing something ceases to be fun and becomes tedious, I'm doing something wrong. Unfortunately, there will always be scenes or parts that I don't particularly want to write, but need to regardless.
As far as my some of my scenes feeling different, perhaps it is described better as abstract?
If there is a particular name for the style of writing for this particular fic and you can ever figure out the correct name, I'd love to hear it.
Yay update!!!![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)

Each chapter keeps getting better!
I want to see my dreams... Not my nightmares though. Mine get pretty bad. It doesn't stop after one death. I have to watch myself die in other bodies so much. Running from zombies jumping roof to roof... Your leg gets caught in barb wire aand a polar bear rips you to shreds. Then you move to the next body to watch others ripped apart by zombies and demons are mixed in with them... Luna why u no help me!?
Oh dear.![:facehoof:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/facehoof.png)
![:fluttershysad:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/fluttershysad.png)
Luna is so oblivious.
Awaiting further releases.
great chapter. can wait for the next one but i would like the next one at your earliest convenience![:ajsmug:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/ajsmug.png)
When they went into his dream and Luna was saying how in dreams time is slower, I thought this was going to become like Inception
All will be well huh. Lyra is lying.
i must admit despite all the...ahem...mature content. this is a VERY good story and my insanity has been fed...for now.![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)

5/5
Luna, why doth thou not bear under garments?
SUCCESS!
Ah. Obsidian. My friend's favorite material.
1977053 But even in her subconciousness she has taken a more feminine form.
I accidentally skipped this chapter. Now that i read it some things make more sense.
Oh dear Epona! The backup is its' own living persona?! It was actively and with malace trying to cripple the most important parts of the "invader" so it could erase all the easier?! No wonder soren personified it as a monster! No sympanty from me, thanks.![:flutterrage:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/flutterrage.png)
Another SNAFU to lay at the hooves of Twilight for not calling for help sooner. That's uncountable terabites of Soren's life gone forever starting from when the damage could have been contained if Luna had been informed immediately...
When I read Lyra's mind imprint's state, I violently cringed. I'm very susceptible to emotions influencing my physical state, and if you can write me a violent shudder like I had, that tells me you're one hell of a talented writer. This story has been an emotional roller coaster for me so far, altogether a good one.
Bottom line is, you're very good at this, and you have my high praise.
I loved it all and so happy that things are going so smoothly and
and I can't wait to see what happens next
totally from the Matrix!
Ironically when the manifestation of Lyra's mind showed up, "We Are" by HU started playing... couldn't help but laugh. Then again sometimes my mind is sick and twisted like that
I wonder if he'll egain some of her memories
Oh yeah i just remembered. What is showing the show gonna do for the characters? I mean it's kinda an alternate universe fic right cause well... Pound died.
Luna, please no. You do NOT say anything about "too easy"
I've reached my breaking point. No pony in this story deserves any sympathy for destroying Soren life. Especially not the memory imprint! I'm done with him sucking up to these horrible ponies.
