      The overseer in charge of torturing him taunts him with the fact that 1) the Company doesn't expect the cycle will ever end until his money runs out, which won't happen for centuries, and 2) not ONE of the new clones has ever even ASKED about the welfare of their predecessors

      The story ends with this kind of cheesily predictable Wham Ending The fully-trained-up H, transformed into this starved broken shell of a man, is told what his first assignment will be in his new career and we're only told it's "worse than anything he'd imagined"

      And he asks "Can I just know one thing? Where am I? What am I doing? The real me" The Company guy thinks he means the current clone, who ironically is codenamed "I", and tells him he's having huge banquets on a pleasure planet and well on his way to ending up back here

      "No, I *knew* that I don't mean the new one, I mean the *first* one, the *original* The me from before I ever met you people, the one who first signed the contract Where is he? Is he still alive? Please, I need to know, I HAVE to know"

      "I knew what you meant" And the Company's overseer looked him in the eyes, this scarred, broken, twisted old man, this man who from the moment he'd touched down on this planet hated him to the core, hated every cell in his flabby body as no one else possibly could

      Those soft baby blue eyes he'd seen in the mirror shaving every day "He'll be alive for a long time yet"

      Has anyone ever figured out why Card's writing is so full of self-loathing?

      I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest the proponderance of evidence is that Orson Scott Card loathes himself

      I guess that was what I meant. He clearly hates himself, but why?

      I'm gonna cross the streams here and say it's because the happiest time in his life was when he was a young athletic twink being "mentored" by an older teen as a Mormon missionary and then his whole self-image changed when he got married and became a hardworking dad

          I mean there was even an author's note that came with this story in an anthology where Card cheerfully says that there's been times in his life where he's loved the way he looked when he had time and energy for regular exercise

          But that much of his late 20s/early 30s was him "letting himself go" after getting married and deciding vanity was for young people And that, contrary to the narcissistic spoiled billionaire in the story, he gained the most weight during his most stressful periods
