Well, of course, that's the first reaction. I'd probably freak out, too. But I guess I mean...what do you do afterwards, especially if there's no obvious way of getting your body back? Would you be happy with it eventually? Get used to it?
[IGNORING THAT FIRST PART, we don't talk about Sanji's canon.]
... I mean, I'd have to get used to it to a point, wouldn't I? Even if I searched for a way to find my old one, the experience of living in the new would have an effect I couldn't just... ignore.
[Folding his arms, and doing his best to take this question seriously]
For me, I wouldn't stop looking -- not unless I knew for certain I couldn't get the old body back, or I found out getting that old one back would cost more than I was willing to spend, y'know?
Yeah, that's exactly it. [He lets his hand drift over his face, over the right side of his forehead, staying there briefly, before he brushes through his own hair.] In a way, you'd get used to it, in your own way, but you'd miss what you lost. Like a longing. You're in something else, and you want to get back to where you need to be, and...well, that's its own unique form of misery, I suppose.
Ah. I think my theories are just theories. But dying so many times in one's memories makes you wonder, you know? I'm glad you don't have to deal with that, chef.

[I'm so sorry about One Piece]
Freak out, and then check the body. Figure out if I recognize it. Freak out some more.
[A shrug]
But I know that's not what you mean. Especially since I got my own body back in the end.

You're in someone else's body...?
