Entry #A-4: "Ante" [February 21, Text]
Though the police and the Blood Keys obviously represent a threat to many numbered individuals, I have a question about organized religion, and what pulses might mean when framed within certain philosophical contexts.
No matter how natural it might feel, if there really is another being nudging its way into an existing consciousness, changing a person's aptitudes, physical attributes and even their personality... there have to be at least a few churches that would consider that demonic possession, right?
Has anyone tried to reconcile what's happening with influential religious practices, and do we have any resources for assisting anyone who might wind up the subject of an attempted exorcism? Those still happen today, they can be extremely dangerous, and I'm concerned about the possibility of frightened numbered people seeking out such assistance, or being subjected to it by their families and communities. Thinking you're crazy is one thing, but sincerely believing that the devil is wielding you as an instrument is another entirely. Probably not something that the FAQ page can successfully assuage, for the most tenaciously convinced.

It's like. Grabbing a normal brain is like pushing my fingers into sand! Some people are like dry sand where I can just plunge right in, and others are like wet sand where I have to dig and squirm my fingers around a little.
And then there's Aria, and her brain's like a fucking stone and trying to get in there just makes me look dumb.
[Audio]
What's special about Aria? I don't think I know her.
[Audio]
[Audio]
I guess it makes sense... but you used that word again, "soulbonded." Implying that robots have souls, where you come from?
[Audio]
And, uh, yeah. I guess? She was a ghost in some of my memories, and a robot in others. And the robot definitely came after the ghost, because she was a robot when she killed me!
[Audio]
How is your relationship with Aria?
[Audio]
And Iunno. She doesn't like me, I guess. Like she talks nice to me and stuff but this one time she said she super disliked me because I was rude to her friends or some junk. Who cares.
[Audio]
Don't you care? It's not a good feeling to be disliked.
