[ the news seems to shock her. a human soul? really? a Replica like her? slowly she places a hand over her chest, trying to let this sink in.

a human soul...

in her shock she just blurts out the truth without much thinking about it ]

I... I'm a Replica. I'm just something somebody created... in a lab. Just a puppet given the memories of a boy... if the memories that made me ever left me, I'd cease to exist. So completely that no one would even remember me. [ she shakes her head. ] I'm definitely not human. But I have... a soul? [ she looks down at herself, somewhat at a loss ] Is that like having a heart?
