Ugo
by Giovanni De Feo
At age six, Ugo began leaping into other parts of his life: sometimes into an older Ugo,
sometimes younger, sometimes in control of his body, sometimes just observing. The whole
leaping business isn’t entirely clear except fo his connection with his future wife
Cynthia—or sometimes Ciznia—and his insistence that nothing he sees can ever be
changed.
— Michael Main
Later on, Ugo developed a theory about it. He said that in reality everybody Leaps all
the time. The proof? Déjà vu. The feeling of having already experienced what is in fact
happening for the first time was for him the ultimate, definitive evidence of Leaping.
The only difference between Ugo and everyone else was that he remembered, while we
don’t.
