<p>(Sasha at Cicero's funeral, thoughts on the changes in the lost)
"To get lost is to go mad," Sasha spoke to the small audience that had gathered in the Crown Pub. Read, actually, for she had written the speech to give --- as Michel Hadje rather than Sasha --- at a gathering not too dissimilar from this one earlier in the day. "It is perhaps indelicate to say, but it is true. To get lost is to go mad.</p>
<p>"To get lost is to go mad," Sasha spoke to the small audience that had gathered in the Crown Pub. Read, actually, for she had written the speech to give --- as Michel Hadje rather than Sasha --- at a gathering not too dissimilar from this one earlier in the day. A digital ceremony to follow the analog. "It is perhaps indelicate to say, but it is true. To get lost is to go mad.</p>
<p>"I think that this applies to more than just the sense that it has come to mean here and now. I think that if you go for a walk in a strange city and get lost, there is some aspect of that which is similar to madness. You walk the strange streets and see the strange people and strange buildings, and eventually, it all seems to blur together and your thoughts wander. They wander beyond the limits of your body and your mind. They soar above the city and try to make sense of these unknown, shifting shapes. They try to draw sensible paths from the turns you took. I turned left there, did I not? Or did I?"</p>
<p>The sombre group of diverse species mostly looked at her. Some looked down. AwDae looked at her, keen-eyed. Debarre looked down, shaking with sobs.</p>
<p>The sombre group of diverse species mostly looked at her. Animals of all shapes, anthropomorphism of all levels. Even some humans, for there was Carter, looking much as she had at that first ceremony.</p>
<p>Some looked down. AwDae looked at her, keen-eyed. Debarre looked down, shaking with sobs.</p>
<p>"And to get lost in today's sense feels much the same. Your mind flies to strange places and dreams with all the logic of dreams. Only in there, when your mind dreams, so too does reality. If, that is, the word 'reality' has any meaning in this case.</p>
<p>"And you go mad. You go mad and you try to control the dreams. You try to control them and you fail, because in the end, lucid as you may be, it is the dream which has <em>you</em>, and not the other way around. You do what you can, but you go mad. Your mind is flooded with words. They fly at you like poetry, spill from your mouth or your hands in unceasing torrents.</p>
<p>"And there with you is all that was stored in your exocortex. All of that data, useful and useless, is in there with you. You can keep it for your very own, browse it at will, build it up into castles as tall as you like.</p>
