- You will not lose your identity. As an example, I haven't changed at all. Is that... You will become calmer after half of the year in "connection". Perhaps some emotions at first will be felt brighter. For example joy. But it's temporary like I said. You are still, you. And that's the beauty of the process. You get incredible powers and virtually immortality without losing yourself. But be ready to feel something... It's hard for me to describe it. A sense of kinship with everyone else who has been subjected to the same. The desire to protect them as your family. Sometimes you have to fight this feeling when you face a choice or your life or the life of your "brother".
