Just a, uh... quick question to the other Weapons here.
I've already tried looking things up on this, but I'm just a bit wary about trusting some of the material.
Weapons get stronger by collecting souls, right? Eating them... basically. I've heard that there was an alternative and Weapons could choose to not collect them, but-
What happens to the souls that we do collect? And can we still get stronger if we choose not to... do that?

[Voice]
Maybe souls are different in this world...
[But he doesn't sound entirely convinced of his own suggestion.]
[Voice]
I've heard back from a few of Shibusen's higher ups. They've explained that Kishin Eggs were the souls that were... supposed to... well. [You know.] Those are the souls of people that consumed other innocents. So... it doesn't... sound as bad anymore... I guess.
[It still sounds bad.]
[Voice]
Did they say if there's a way to get stronger without doing that?
[This conversation is bringing up some bad personal memories...]
[Voice]
[Voice]
[The next words are quiet, as though he's speaking more to himself.]
I'm not sure I can do that.
[Voice]
It's okay if you don't. No one's going to make you.
[At least, that's what they say. On the other hand, she feels trapped in this situation. If she doesn't, then Six needs to find a new partner... Maybe they can talk and she can help him look or-... She hates all of this.]
[Voice]
Even without it, we can still fight, can't we? Though we won't... get stronger...
[There's no way around it; that's a terrible option, too.]
[Voice]
[Voice]
[The choice is still awful, but he can sacrifice his goal for a little while. As long as he's not going backwards, then maybe he doesn't have to get stronger...]
Oh... By the way, I'm Yuugi.
[Since they seem to be in this crappy situation together as fellow conflicted Weapons, and since she's given him a lot of information, it seems like he should at least offer his name.]
Thanks for telling me what you know.
[Voice]
[He sounds like just a kid. This isn't right.]
[Voice]
[And despite the circumstances, he's sincere about that. He hesitates somewhat, curious now but not wanting to be rude.]
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of doctor are you?
[Voice]
[Voice]
[He's not faking that tone of awe.]
[Voice]
Thank you, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I just did what I had to.
[
Or her sister would probably be dead.][Voice]
No... it's really incredible...
[And he was just thinking that they were in the same boat but she's at least like twenty boats ahead of him. Now he's in awe AND a little bit embarrassed.]
[Voice]
Except for the medicine bit. I'll be using that on as often as possible.
[Voice]
[Voice]
[She smiles, but... it falters.]
But I would rather they didn't get hurt in the first place, you know?
[Voice]
I feel the same way...
[But the world isn't that kind, is it? This world, or any other.]
It's not possible to protect everyone, but being there for them afterward is just as important as trying. [He hesitates somewhat, because what he wants to say is a little bold for a first meeting.] Even if you decide not to fight, I think what you do will be enough.
[Voice]
[She's not sure she feels the same where Six is concerned, but she wants to.]
