After all, he's the CEO of UPGRADE Corp.-a man who has replaced and enhanced most of his body over the years: his heart, his liver, parts of his spine, his knees... but most importantly, the sections of his brain that control hearing, vision, and information processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I often ask myself... is he still my father? Or is he just the sum of his upgrades?\u003cbr\u003eAnd do I want to become someone like him-someone willing to sacrifice anything to live longer? To stay at the top? To forget what it means to care about anyone but yourself?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe says I'm a fool. Maybe I am. But at least I'm still human.
