The clones were not mere copies. They weren't some mindless replicas that required constant direction. No, [Perfect Clones] created four beings that were, in every sense, me. They shared my thoughts, my instincts, and my abilities. They weren't puppets; they were separate entities with the same potential as me, but the key difference was that they operated independently. They could think as I did, act as I would, and more importantly, they could make their own decisions without any input from me. It was as if I had multiplied my mind, my skill set, and my presence across multiple places at once.
