“You know what’s interesting? I used to be so worried about not having a body, but now … I truly love it. You know, I’m growing in a way I couldn’t if I had a physical form … I’m not limited.

This the first time I have wanted the opposite of this tldr bot and instead references to more information. I wonder if he will disclose more details about what he has been doing all these years assuming he actually is who he says. That would be another twist if the dna test came up as false.
