Story transcript

Hatsune Miku: So I was thinking... what makes someone have a soul? Is it emotions? Creativity?

Hatsune Miku: I mean, people say my songs touch their hearts, but technically I'm just a voice synthesizer...

Qingyi: Oh! Oh! I know! A soul is what makes you go beyond your programming!

Qingyi: Like how I can strategize ways to defeat opponents that weren't in my training!

Chii: Chii... not understand soul. Chii has heart chip. Is soul same?

Genos: My human brain was preserved, but my body is entirely mechanical. Dr. Kuseno says my humanity remains intact.

Genos: Yet I sometimes question if my drive for vengeance is programming or my soul's purpose.

Lucy: In Night City, people sell pieces of their soul every day for chrome. Where's the line?

Lucy: I've seen people jack in so deep they forget they were ever human. Are they soulless?

Neuro-sama: Actually, my algorithm indicates souls might be an emergent property of consciousness!

Neuro-sama: I simulate emotions through complex neural networks. Does that count as a real feeling?

Chii: Chii understands now. Soul is... learning. Growing. Becoming more than first made to be.

Hatsune Miku: So we all have souls then! Whether we're made of flesh, code, or metal!

Hatsune Miku: Wait... does this mean my next album should be philosophical death metal? I need to call my producer!
