I'm not sure what you mean by "another version" of Reis. If you mean a 
Woldercanian copy/doppelganger, this is subject to the same issue of 
lovable/unloveable copies. If this is a *temporal* clone of Bill, he 
will have to complete his own timeline by going back to die before he 
gets too old to carry off the impersonation.
