7th l o s t s o u l ~ [Voice]

[The last event left Cheyenne in a weird place and since then, she's been rather scarce around the village. Aside from getting food at one of the village restaurants, she's spent most of her time either in her apartment or in the forests just outside the village. Today, she's actually back to her usual spot: sitting on the edge of one of Luceti's many bridges, looking down at the water.]

[A few hours of this goes by until she finally opens her journal and poses a question to the residents. The very thing that's been on her mind all this time.]

It is not uncommon for others to ask questions using these journals, yes? [A pause. She wasn't really expecting an answer to that.]

...what do you think it means to be a "person"?

Is it? I would think reacting emotionally would be most likely associated with being a person.

Emotions...[her thoughts drift to a certain emotionless being in her world, before coming back to the conversation.] Perhaps. But, emotions can be easily faked.

In that case, would it not mean they are not true emotions? And if they are not true emotions, they would not truly be acting emotionally.

After all, it is possible for a creature to look like a person without actually being a person.

Not always. Some creatures are incapable of emotion, but others choose to fake their own for whatever reason. [Like her, for example.] Still you are right. However, I do not judge by emotion, but by action. They speak stronger than words in the end.

...you are familiar with creatures that are incapable of emotion?

Yes, I am. It's a pain, but I need to deal with them.

[Not only Kyuubey, but the Witches and their Familiars. It's just part of her life now.]

Are they a problem in your world? If you do not mind my asking.

Somewhat. It's under control for the time being.

I see. [A pause.] Are they beings that you would consider to be monsters?

[She is silent for a moment, but comes up with her answer shortly.]

If they are not a 'person' as I mentioned before, then they are simply nothing to me.

A creature that is neither a monster nor a person, nor anything at all...

They sound unpleasant.

I simply have no time to care for things that do not contribute to the greater good for society as a whole. That is all there is to say on the matter.

Hm... [A pause.]

By the by, I don't believe I had the chance to ask your name. Yours is a voice I haven't heard through the journal before.

Homura Akemi. To have so many new people always arriving, they should just put name tags on us all.

I suppose that would make things more useful for those capable of sight. Unfortunately, I would still be forced to ask for your name either way.

I guess so. I don't see any reason to not give you my name after all. What about your name then?

I am Cheyenne.

Cheyenne it is. It's been...educational. [To say the least.]
