Yeah, that's what you look like, but just-

I mean-

So you think that... well, you know, when it rains, ah, well, um... babies fall from the sky?

That would be silly.

There is no 'child' stage of development. We are born fully formed.

... [What's really scary is that he sounds so... matter-of-fact. What the hell brain breaking here.]

People fall from the sky?

As in, it rains, and... The child mortality rates.

We do not 'fall' precisely. We are simply born.

Have you even thought about this before? This makes absolutely no logical sense. Well, at least it wasn't cabbage patches this time. The things idiots-

Arg. Just. What would say would be your purpose for living? I can't really imagine a world where you can't just... make babies, so.

Prior to our curse. [He gestures toward the brand on his cheek]

After we were infected, our intended goal was to reach Nirvana.

Well, you sure don't want to go there anymore. After that dream anyway.

... Curse? Does it prevent you from making babies? What does it do?

It enables us to protect our comrades... But at a dire price.

Like a balanced equation, huh. What kind of price?

Our humanity.

... Oh. I get it now. So it does take away your ability to make babies.

What would you consider to be part of your 'humanity' anyway? Like, your sense of touch, or emotions, or... what?
