Yesterday's Pet

You raise a digital pet for five years. It learns your habits and reacts to its name. One day its data is lost. The company restores a backup from the day before. The restored pet remembers everything except its final day.

Is it the same pet?

Then ask

How much lost time would change your answer?
What if both copies could be restored?
Could one of the copies be the original?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
