Thanks for the chance to chill!
*Turns and opens a portal*
Hey, I’ve still got it.
*Hops through and it closes*

@Intrepid

*Waves as you go*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Alright, I’ve got family to see. I’ll catch ya later, okay?

@Intrepid

Sounds good. I'll see you around.

*Pulls you into me and hugs you one more time, more tightly and happily than those before*
I know, super cheesy. But I like it.

@Intrepid

*Lets go*
I'm with you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We both have problems with self confidence in some regard then.
*Holds out my hand toward you and smiles happily*
I guess we’re just going to have to take each other’s confidence in us and use it to keep moving us forward, huh?

@Intrepid

...
*Takes your hand and smiles*
That's so cheesy. Let's do it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Well you’d better believe it, because I know it. I’m more confident in that than anything else we’ve talked about here.

@Intrepid

I'll take it. That's more confidence than I have.

I’m glad it gives you hope in that, but having a soul means that you are an individual. Of course it means way more, because it means you are you! Uniquely Rhythm. One of the best friends anyone can ask for.

@Intrepid

*Smiles*
Thanks Vi. I hope you're right.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Well... Geez. That’s an incredibly unsatisfying answer, actually. I’m sorry.

@Intrepid

It's okay. I'll be honest—even though I wish none of this never happened to you, it does give me some amount of hope that being a "navi with a soul" means something more than just being a bit smarter or stronger than other navis.

Is there ever a way to kind of get to the bottom of it? Perhaps a way for you to simulate these things?

@Intrepid

Service to humans is more than just code; that's like an identity, or a family creed. But when it comes to code, nobody can fully understand exactly what goes on inside us. There are numbers, but nobody knows what they mean, or even if they mean anything at all.

*Nods stands up straight*
Does that bother you at all?

@Intrepid

All the time.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Blinks twice, reanalyzing my question*
Of course. Fair enough. I guess it’s like hunger or sleepiness is to you. Not a concept I really can grasp.

@Intrepid

Don't worry about it—I can't either.
