"Bella probably can't put you back, she can only work in the gravity well."

In the what? And it's okay, here's a fine place to be for a really long time, my father will probably rescue us eventually even if it takes him a hundred Ages.

"On the Earth except if she were on the moon then it'd be on the moon."

What's the moon?

"Big ol' rock in the sky. I don't think it's up now..." She looks around. "Yeah nah."

...okay. I'll keep an eye out.

"It's pretty. People have been to it."

Cool! Have you?

"Nah, but Bella has, somebody took her up for powers testing."

You don't just ...know? Once I was thinking about it I knew.

"Well, she knew she could teleport, when she thought about it, but she didn't know exactly all the details like what would happen if she were on the moon."

Ah, okay, that makes sense.

"I'm gonna converge here now." Nothing observably happens. "See, my power's this -" Then there's two of her. Then there's one again.

- wow. Weird. Is your soul in - both at once, or...

"I don't understand the question?"

Does your soul split also, or is it just controlling two bodies at once? Like, one way you might be able to tell is, do you have one stream of thoughts, or two which get reconciled later?

"Two but I don't see what that has to do with souls."

...wait, if your gods are really low-key how do you get resurrected if you die?

"...did I say we did that? I am like ninety percent sure I didn't say we did that on account of we do not."

I'm so sorry.

"Uh, thank you?"

That's awful.

Uh, so usually I'd explain souls by saying they're the part of you that survives the destruction of your body but if you can't talk to those then that won't be helpful. So - they're the part of you which has memories and thoughts and experiences. You are a soul, you inhabit a body. That sort of thing.

"That might be an alien thing."

...I suppose that is possible but since souls are the thing that does thoughts and experiences, and you have those, it seems likelier you have them but the difference isn't relevant when you can't resurrect your dead.

"I think our brains do that? We have brains."
