Looking up at your headless body, which now has a mind of its own, you get a bit worried about what will happen now. To your relief, your body sits the sword down before picking you up. It first examines the stump on your neck, examining its own stump right after. It then turns you 360', then starts touching your face.
"Ow! Careful!" You yell as your body pulls at your cheek.
After a few more minutes, your body sits you down, then looks for some paper to write on. It writes a message and shows it to you.
"This is really weird. I am so confused. I thought that I would be the head." It read. "What does that mean?" You think. Why would it be the head. You ask it to explain that.
"Well, when I cut my head off, I thought that my consciousness would stay with my head, but somehow I'm the body. I remember everything up until that happened. My point of view was the head until I cut it off. Which one of us is the original?" Your body writes.
You are amazed by this. You didn't think that your body would think like this. You thought that it would be aware exactly what happened and that its consciousness would have no recollection of anything that happened before this. You then think about its question. It's true that your personalities are identical, but who is the original?
"Well. I am the head, which means that I have the brain, so I think that I'm the original." You tell your body.
"Hmm. I guess that makes sense. It doesn't matter, though. I'm here now." It writes. It then draws its attention to the sword again. It picks it up and waves it around slowly.
"So, do you want to try it on someone else now?" You ask. Your body then gives you an enthusiastic thumbs up.
