Why don’t you run tests on me and see? Or better yet, run them on Dawn. Win-win.


Because Dawn is not in a position to fully consent to testing, and I would need a strong baseline to compare against. Until we figure out more about Shion, there's little point in testing the rest of you. It would be like trying to decipher a code that's based in a language you are totally unfamiliar with, which has a totally different character set than you use. You have to learn things in order and build on them.

But you could use me as your control. I don't have anything wrong with me.

How would we know that for sure? True, I don't think there's anything wrong with you, but choosing you as a control group would only work if we knew for sure that there were enough similarities between you and your siblings to make it viable. Right now, I don't have enough information. Which leads to a lack of tests that I can do that need a control group, as well.
*Pats your head*
Besides, you've got a great mind in there. Let's focus on putting it to good use before worrying about testing anything against anything else, okay?

Hmmm...
*Rubs my eyes*
Are you sure there’s nothing special about that body that you don’t already know about? Or maybe something about your and mom’s souls?
*Pauses, glancing upward*
Does she have a soul?

Now we're on the same track. If it's not biological in nature, then it probably has a metaphysical component. So if you add that to the equation, what ideas come to mind as possibilities? And for the record, yes, we've been able to detect something similar to a soul in all four of you kids, but that's a conversation that can wait for another time.

Shion could always have multiple souls. If your bodies were barely compatible, maybe your souls weren’t. Or the souls could have come from somewhere else.

*Nods*
Correct. I believe that's close to the answer, so the question is... Why the major difference between them? If it's a mixture of, well, not quite physical per se, but close to it, from your mother, and Shion's soul being unstable, then why does splitting bring out the other version when there's no trace of her in their combined state?

Is it possible that one got most of Shion’s soul and the other is defective?

I doubt that's the case, but it is possible.

It doesn't seem to fit with the results, though.

Could it be another soul harboring her body?

It could, but why would it only show up when they split? Why would there not be evidence of it in her normal state?

If Shion only had one soul and split her body, that’d leave an empty husk for any soul to take over.

That’s an unknown. Either her soul needs to already be there, be from somewhere else, or get created on the spot. There’s no real other option.

If you assume that they're both full souls, yes.
