[quote=@Meta] *Waits a few minutes between the listen receipt and the response* I'll do it. If I'm going to meet guests, just give me a few minutes to change clothes. [/quote] [quote=@Memory] Can you explain that part to me, pretty please? [/quote] *Smiles and records another* Thanks, Dawn. I appreciate it. We're in Lab K. I'll cover things before you get here. *Sends the message* Dawn'll be here in a little bit. Let's get the patient covered up. *Looks to Envy* Take her dad to another area for a bit, okay? *Envy nods and picks his corpse up, walking through a door in the back as I start draping sheets over Artemis* Oh, right. *Places the growing spinal cord in a box* Well, Stella, in most human-esque species, the soul is interlinked with part of the consciousness. The more you feel something extreme, especially things like hatred, the more the soul reacts. If she [i]was[/i] trying to harm herself, for example, that would link to a dimming of her soul. *Pauses* But mind-altering substances can also give a temporary dimming, due to the disruption of the consciousness.
