The soul.

[She has to think for a while, to phrase it right.]

A soul is you, in the purest sense. It remembers everything about you, even if you forget, it is linked to the conceptual heart and mind. If you are born with one, and lose it, you will die. Medicine may keep the body alive, but the soul is its own domain. It is both energy and a void, knowing and unknowing. Each soul is unique, shaped by the person it belongs to and everything they've ever done, said, experienced. Certainly it's capable of being corrupted or purified, so it's also like a substance...How best to draw an analogy...the best one I can think of is that water is to physics as the soul is to metaphysics.

You asked me how one world can have science and another reapers. The truth is that they coexist easier than you would think.
