cw: discussion of pregnancy/souls/this is all controversial stuff, i know

[He did say her name. John makes note of that. Perhaps he's getting through to an extent.]

Mr. Estinien, you and I are, regardless, biological machines. Our components are organic, but we both function the same way Luna does. We both require energy. Our wiring is through our nervous system. We're 'programmed' with certain reflexes at birth and develop new ones through a standard process of growth and development.

When is a soul inserted into a body in your world? When do you talk about it happening? Is it at conception? What about for miscarriages before a woman even knows she's pregnant? Was a soul lost? Is it only once a baby is actually out in the world? Some people would argue that's too late for a soul to come in, and why is there a sudden switch flipped only at birth?
