With that analogy, though. . . Even if machines are broken and can be replaced, sometimes you lose things. Like important data and things like that.
Anyway, we aren't machines. Even if we're treated as fictional characters that came out of one — we have souls. The fact that we can be placed into gigai bodies at all is proof of that. We live and we breathe and we have feelings like everyone else. I don't want to see all of this as an "us" versus "them".
This world needs to change the way it thinks, because with the way they're going about this. . . They'll end up self destructing. It won't matter if any 6350 wind up hitting the highest rank and taking things over if nobody that was born in this world wants to change their thinking.
Because even if we're fictional to them, why does that even matter? Fiction has been able to impact people's lives in both the past and present.
Or things don't work quite right. [Maybe they have demon memories and feelings installed for instance.]
You don't have to tell me about the kind of impact fiction can have. [She said something about that in the final Witch confrontation, after all.] But it doesn't really matter, because real or not, we're here.
[pause]
...did that make sense? I'm sorry, I'm... I'm a bit distracted, I suppose.

[ She points in the direction of the nearest camera. ]
But you're right that it doesn't matter because we're here anyway and we've got a lot on our plates but we're not—
[ "we're not monsters" she wants to say, but she does think of herself like that in a lot of ways ]
We aren't too dissimilar, in the end.
