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.

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?
