I think I can say that I don't feel as if this "me" was in any way in control.

Except in the sense that that person was also me in certain ways.

[If he'd been in control -- no, he wouldn't have made some of the choices that Zhu Bajie had made. Some of them... feel like choices he might be open to. Some of them feel like cruel mockery of his real self. None of them were choices that Cho Gonou had made.]

I'm sorry-- do you mean that your fight was about things that you had done during the breach?
