Heart and soul

[jianai]

[1]
[In order to get better as a pilot and not wreck a mobile suit each time they're piloting, Ren is doing some good old fashioned physical exercise.]

And one, and two...

[Running laps around Alhambra Base - with a lack of haste that'd cause any drill sergeant worth their salt to pop a vein or a dozen. But what's this - 15, 20, 30 laps around the base done, and Ren isn't even sweaty yet.

Comment? Or maybe join in, if you dare?]

[Some time after the exercise, but directed at whomever seems willing to listen.]

Do you believe in the afterlife?

Do you believe in personal space?

[jianai]

I am willing to respect it. Have I just crossed some boundaries?

[delouser]

No, it's just this is pretty random and out of nowhere.

[jianai]

It's an interesting conversation topic, isn't it?

[delouser]

So does cats, but you don't see me bothering people about it.

[jianai]

Do you like cats?

[delouser]

That's none of your business. What is it to you if I do?

[jianai]

I just like cats, this is why I ask.

[delouser]

Cats are amusing. Do you think they go to the afterlife?

[jianai]

Of course. Didn't you know? All cats go to heaven.

Well, jokes aside. Humans are animals, aren't they? If they have souls, so should cats.

[delouser]

What about robots?

[jianai]

I am not really sure. I guess it'd depend on the robot in question, how it was made or where it came from.

What do you think?

[delouser]

If robots have an afterlife, I wonder what would happen if a robot got destroyed, then rebuilt, then destroyed again. Would that mean there are two copies of that robot in the robot afterlife?

[jianai]

If the robot's personality and memories are intact, then that's like resurrection, isn't it?
