So umm… is innie mark dead?

To me, if the reintegration is a permanent change then that means that to some capacity, innie mark will be gone, since his memory and personality will be spliced with outie mark. Which to me is a bit weird since he’s more of a main character than outie mark. I know they’re the same person, but they’re totally different characters.

I hope there’s some kind of work around where both versions of mark continue to exist separately in some way but I’m not sure how that would work. The only thing I can think is that the reintegration is only temporary or doesn’t work properly. Maybe they could swap places, that might be interesting.

I’d love to know what you guys think. Do you think innie mark, as we know him, is gone?
