copy and paste from my earlier blog this one's based on: "The remark "I got separated" indicates that there is in fact an upper part belonging to those legs and that it's not unnatural to him to split into half"

So, yeah, I thought so, too. But when I read the chapter again, the way he said that he cannot hear or see them because he has no ears and eyes gave me the impression that he just realized this. So unless he's a huge simpleton I'd say his separation is relatively new to him as well. But that's just my me.
