Severian's family tree

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

B,

I have always taken "my childhoods in the Citadel" to refer to the many
lives he remembers as heir to the line of Autarchial memories.

The business about changing personality in mid sentence? I think this
is indication that Sev's personality/memories are getting more confused
with the passage of time -- ultimately one hopes he will merge them
all into a single persona, but he's got trouble in the meanwhile.
