... not really. Not anymore, anyway. I just- used to be.

[sometimes you just change excessively... he shrugs, a little.]

We have human enough bodies now, but we aren't fully human.

[hee nods at that, understanding automatically]

Right. I think... that's how I feel too.

Even though we have hearts and feelings similar to humans and other spirits who live this way now... in the end, we're still blades. I can't imagine not being a blade.

Yeah. I can kind of get it... not completely, I guess, since I was human in the beginning, but it's still...

It doesn't feel like who I am anymore. Like that guy and Netzach are completely different, and it was someone else's life.

You said you die more than once in the library, right...? How dos it feel to be here in comparison? Like -

To have another chance at life, in a different way.

...I don't mind it that much, honestly. I do need to get back to help finish our work, but seeing new places like this, and meeting everyone here...

It feels more like living, than like being dead.

[hasteful]

It does, doesn't it? I keep getting confused sometimes because - well, my heart's still doing its thing and I bleed when I'm hurt so...

It's hard to say it feels like death. Though I've never thought hard about what death for swords would be like either... I thought it'd just be - over.

Usually it is, I think. At least... it was that way for me. I don't remember anything between when I died and when I was first brought back.

[a slight shrug, there.]

And now I don't remember how I died at all, this time... that doesn't really help.
