Nobody: a word usually used in singular to exclude a person’s existence, presence or other qualities or any other condition. This definition describes my father. He was for me a 'nobody'. His non-presence (therefore his non-existence) has affected my life. But in spite of this, I have never given up looking for his presence. My father has never been present in my life, but he has always been there in other forms. In conclusion, metaphorically, my father is Ditto.
Ditto is a Pokemon. He is an exponential existence, as his only power is to transform himself into whatever he has in front of him: be it an inanimate object or a human. Ditto is a presence that reveals itself only when it loses its form, its existence.
