I am me

He paused for a moment and then made an expression as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Ohh, that matter with the Church that is all over the internet right now. You must be thinking about that, I guess. So, that explains why you aren't sleeping. Yeah, so what did you want to ask? Go ahead. I have to return to sleeping after this."

Edward looked at Asher for a moment.

He remained silent for several moments, carefully observing him before finally asking,

"Who are you?"

Asher went silent for a moment before saying in a serious tone, "Did you start smoking some mystical weed or something?"

Edward replied instantly, "I did not."

Asher replied again, "Then why are you spouting nonsense questions right now? Of course I am me, and I have always been me. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Edward remained silent for a moment, studying Asher's expression through the projection.
