she kissed my forehead. It felt like magic but i dont know how she did it because i dont do magic. why am i telling you this? this curse is dumb. who are you anyway?

I'm Dr. Stein. I'm an expert on Soul Theory.

soul theory? whats that?

What does it sound like?

it sounds like you make stuff up about souls is that right? that makes me nervous because mines new and i dont want anything to happen to it. not having one is the worst thing...

No, that's wrong. I study souls and figure out how they work. I'm an expert.

thats even worse! you have to take things apart to see how they work!!

[He covers his heart with his hand, as if to shield his own soul from Stein's prying. Although...]

...um... but how do they work?

[Damnit.]

You don't have to take everything apart to see how it works. Astronomers can't take apart the sun to see how it works.

[How do souls work.]

How much information do you want to know about souls?

do you know how to give them to people who dont have them? and i want to know how to protect mine so no one can ever take it away!

[If he can manage to learn that, maybe he can help all the other replicas. True he's not sure if there are any others left in the bubble but if Ion ever came back or when Zelda manages to figure things out and they can come and go, he could use that information to help them.]

Neither of those are possible in my world, so I don't have any information on them.

youre not a very good scientist then.

[Woah woah he hadn't meant to say that!]

sorry i didnt mean to say that

Science is all about learning by observation.

If I had the opportunity to look at your soul, and the process by which it was created, I might be able to replicate it.

look at it? like how?

[Pardon him if he's wary of that request, but still definitely interested. He could save other replicas so... maybe it's worth the risk?]

Pretty much the same way you look at a person with your eyes. Totally noninvasive.

i guess thats okay...

when? where?

When and where is best for you?

today is fine. i dont really care where i can meet you where you want.

Where do you live?

[He doesn't really want to tell a stranger where he lives...]

i dont want to say where i live

[Damnit!]

but ill meet you in the park if you want. or your house. anywhere else really.

What are you scared of?

The park should be fine.

im scared youll take it or something

[Mmrrfff... this curse is really a bother. Still, the possible benefit of this guy being able to create souls far outweighs the risk. He did say it wouldn't be invasive or unsafe, after all, and no one can lie right now. He'll just awkwardly click off the SFC and make his way to the entrance of the park to meet up with the illustrious Doctor Stein.]

I would never take an innocent soul.

[And here comes a gray-haired man with a screw through his head.

A wave.]

Yo. 'sup?

Um. Hi. I was just waiting for you.

[Yup. He's obviously nervous too.]

Nice to meet you in person.

[Remember when Stein said looking at a soul wasn't invasive? Well... he didn't lie, but he has a far different definition of "invasive" than most people.

It's a creepy, dark sort of feeling, like having someone stare directly at your soul. Most people would describe it as "invasive".]

[Stein's gaze makes Sola shudder a bit, more than just the sensation of his skin crawling; it feels like it's crawling from the inside. Sola's soul, though, looks like any other created by deity to be woven into the fabric of creation. The only real difference is that it's brand spanking new. This is its first trip through the cycle of reincarnation and there's nothing that's been done to it yet to tarnish or undermine its brilliance.]

W-what are you doing? That feels really weird...
