(Twinning, Generification) A SimuLife story! ~~~~..oOo..~~~~ Content Warning: Identity death While a user, the humans within the simulation, might be more complex than the simulacrum, they weren't that different from one another. Everything within the simulation was made up of strings of code, as were both users and simulacrum. While the earlier models of simulacrum were crude and obviously not on the same level as users, once the simulacrum programming passed v.48.0.1 the differences became practically imperceptible. Using knowledge learned from studying the data cores of users, the simulacrum were given true consciousness on essentially the same level of users. The more advanced data core made creating a simulacrum of v.48.0.1 version or higher take a considerable amount of time, however, and for situations that didn't require as complex an agent, earlier versions were still being used due to their significantly smaller data size. Earlier versions were also still housed inside the

It was another ordinary day for the principal, who was admiring the framed picture of Bella, his new wife. The tranquility in the office was disturbed only by thoughts of wanting a child. That's when Mark's school file caught his attention. The boy was troublesome, defiant, and seventeen. Perfect. "Mark, step into my office," he announced over the PA system. Mark's entrance was filled with rebellion and disdain. "What do you want?" he spat, his eyes narrowed at the machine. Without a word, the principal activated it, and Mark's transformation began. Mark's initial reaction was shock, then terror. The machine started altering his body, reshaping him. His height was the first to change, decreasing rapidly, taking him from a young man's stature to the height of a child. He struggled, his mind racing, but the machine was relentless. "What's happening to me?" he screamed, his voice breaking into a higher pitch. His facial features softened, the rugged lines giving way to a soft
