[ looks at her hands...

she's trying to picture being a triangle. or a floating head. ]


Is it not difficult to live in such a form...?

Not really. They don't need to eat or sleep, and they can change their form at will. So it's no problem.

Are they some kind of deities?

It makes for a convenient metaphor at times, but no.

They are just people given more control.

How? Have they mastered magic?

They uploaded.

All of their personal data was extracted from their brain and emulated in a simulated world, giving them the freedom to customize both their own selves and their surroundings.

Data from... their brains?

You could think of it like a mathematical calculation that represents their soul.

[ math lady meme ]

Oh...... okay!

[ does not sound like she understands. ]

They live in a simulation? And... you do, too?

[ for some reason tries to elaborate more instead of leaving it at that even though euphausia is struggling. ]

For conversational purposes, most code can be broken down into if-then sequences. Like when you order things from the kiosk. If you tap the icon for something, then you get that thing. Human behavior is the same, but on a much smaller, micro level of interaction, always moving and adapting to every factor in the present and the past.

[ stop. ]

But yes. I lived in a simulation.
