You nod along slowly, still unconvinced but trusting Delphia to be more of an authority on such things. Though her answer does not really address your question, and you sniff loudly as she brushes away your tears, biting on your lip. "Whaddabout the ones who're alive now, though? Like... Like Amun, an' Bastien, an' the rest of 'em? Where're their souls?" You've liked all the Ascended you've met so far. Do they have souls? And if not, are they even alive?
And does it matter in the end, if this is what they wanted? Ascension seems like a valid adaptation, though as with any it has its downfalls. Like the no sunlight, and the no food, and all of that. But plenty of plant and animal species don't like sunlight, and they're doing just fine. They still have souls, though, or you think so anyway, which begs the question: "What... what does the Voice do with the souls?"
