It has been a year since I arrived in Vatheon. A longer time than I was ever truly alive in the Junkyard or in the real world, and more than a year since gaining the Atma. Yet Nirvana seems to remain beyond our reach.

[When Gale speaks again, after a short pause, he sounds more thoughtful.]

At what cost should one give up their emotions?

I still can't say I understand, but it's not right to give up emotions.

voice;

[donotcomprehend]

It is a complicated situation. You have not had many dealings with the Embryon, have you?

voice;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

No, I haven't. Do they like take emotions or something? Are they bad?

voice;

[donotcomprehend]

No. The Embryon is my tribe. We once had no ability to feel.

voice;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

That sounds rather sad. Not being able to feel.

voice;

[donotcomprehend]

Could it be called sad, if you did not understand what you were without? It was an existence, rather than a life, but it was all we understood.

voice;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

I still believe it's sad. Everyone should be allowed to express themselves by emotion.

voice;

[donotcomprehend]

Hmm.

Then we are in agreement.

voice;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

If you believe you need to keep your emotions, then yes we are.
