[Filtered to Guy//Ridiculously hackable Unhackable]

Hey, Guy? My hair's getting kind of long... Could you come cut it for me? I'd do it myself, but I can't really see back there...


[Filtered to Ion//So hackable it hurts Unhackable]

Ion, can I talk to you? It's important.

[Now that those are out of the way, Luke rests his chin in his hand and stares off to the side, lost in thought. The thing he wanted to talk to Ion about... It's been weighing heavily on his mind ever since he heard it. Luke isn't sure what to think of it, or even how to feel about it. There's a sort of happiness inside him, sure, but... he can't deny the hesitation and confusion he feels. So, after a few minutes, he opens up the journal again to ask the general populace:]

What do you think it means to have a soul?

[well he can't know the last part obviously, but it's clear Luke is having some kind of doubts.]

I knew a robot, and even she has one. [and so do you Luke, because he doubts he could Social Link with someone completely soulless. But it's best not to try and explain that just yet.]

[voice]

[fabrecation]

A robot...? Really? [Robots are the same as fonbots, right? If even they have souls...]

[voice]

[emp3thy]

[he nods.] ...Well, she is a special robot.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

Kind of like Guy? ... When he turned into a fon-robot, anyway.

[voice]

[emp3thy]

[...he'd seen that over the journal, but. uhm.] I guess so.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

... You know, when that happened to him, I knew it was still Guy in there. He might've look a little creepy, but that was still Guy.

Is that kind of what a soul is like?

[voice]

[emp3thy]

I think so. We looked different but were still ourselves, too.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

So it's... what makes us us, deep down.

[Do you hear that squeaking sound? The gears are turning a little!]

[voice]

[emp3thy]

[and now trying to get at the real issue-]

Is something bothering you?

[voice]

[fabrecation]

... Yeah, you could say that.
