[Souji's sitting under a tree in the orchard with his comm device. He's been here awhile now, and has noticed something that, to him, is really odd.]

Is the weather always clear like this, here?

[He might have been intending to say more but there is an apple like...two feet away from him on the ground and clearly it needs to be eaten, stat.]

It must be some type of magic!

[Hello there Souji! Kyubey is in a tree directly above him.]

[getchacontracts]

I am involved in the business of moving souls, so it's important that I can see them.

[eatsyourscience]

Moving them? Why?

[getchacontracts]

...I have to admit, this is such an unusual situation I find myself in. I'm not sure how I should behave.

[eatsyourscience]

...Is it something people aren't supposed to know?

[getchacontracts]

Usually it is in their best interest that they do not know, yes.

[eatsyourscience]

Does it hurt people?

[getchacontracts]

I would say that it brings a person an equal amount of joy and pain.

[eatsyourscience]

...You don't have to explain to me, if that makes it easier for you to know how to behave.

[getchacontracts]

That helps me a lot! I understand your curiousity, but to be honest, it's something that doesn't concern you. If it weren't for this place you would have never met me.

[eatsyourscience]

That's true. [He reaches to pet Kyubey, but he does so slowly enough that if Kyubey doesn't want to be pet, he can let him know.]

[getchacontracts]

[Kyubey is actually impressed with Souji's reasonable response. He politely allows Souji to pet him.]

May I ask you a question?

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji rests his elbows on his knees and nods.] Sure.

[getchacontracts]

How is it that you have three souls?

[eatsyourscience]

[...Three? One for each Persona. What about him...?]

...There are normally more than three.

[getchacontracts]

[To be specific, QB isn't sure if these feelings are souls or something else. It feels as though they are suspended in a great, weightless void...]

Really? That's very strange. Where did you get them?
