The clone (14th of April 2012)

Like him. Exactly like him. OK, not quite exactly. Those modern technologies make miracles when it comes to teeth and bones, so that the lad walked much more straight than he did in his age and he laughed showing endless array of perfect teeth that were never touched by cigarettes or dentist's drills.

Yet, there was a dumb sort of optimism about him that he couldn't recognize.

The kids are these days pointed from the start in the directions they are expected to take, so that the lad was very mathematically educated and clever, but he lacked months of staring into the ceiling and thinking about suicide. Yes, that is what he lacked and that was why he could not recognize him.
