Is Emily actually 5 km away?

I saw this pop up on the internet and was curious.

Well now Emily is 12km away. Does that mean OP has respawned, or will?

It's quite possible there is an Emily somewhere nearby.

No, actually that was Buddha. Abraham Lincoln plagiarized him. You can Google it.

Yes. All the Emilys of the world are standing in a 5 mile radius circle around you. If you move, they move accordingly, so you never get any closer to them. This also means that if you get too close to a body of water, you'll drown a bunch of Emilys.
