"She usedta eat brains but doesn't any more!"

"That sounds incredibly concerning even with the last clause!"

"I don't want to go back to eating brains! One of my favourite things about being human is all the brains I'm not eating! Instead I can eat human food which tastes better and has more interesting varieties and doesn't make me sad!"

"Well, the lasagna will come out of the oven in about ten minutes. Where did Bella find you?"

"In the grocery store!"

"She's working at the deli counter. She only recently became confident she is an alien."

"I was always confident I am formerly nonhuman but I only recently became confident I am from a different planet," she clarifies.

"Members of other species from this planet aren't aliens! It would be surprising if we discovered some of them were language-using sapients on or above our level, but I wouldn't call them aliens."

"Are humans from a different planet aliens, or not?"

"It's very weird for there to be humans on another planet and I'm not sure if I want to declare them aliens or not."

"Anyway I think it makes sense that when I was confident of being formerly nonhuman but not confident about whether I was on another planet when I wasn't human, I was uncertain about being an alien in an importantly distinct way than the way I would have been uncertain about being an alien if I had been uncertain about the formerly nonhuman part too."

"I suppose that does make sense."

"Why do you work at a deli counter?"

"When I arrived here I was curious about how I suddenly knew English and the first advice I got was to ask a neurologist and the first neurologist I found had a receptionist who told me I needed money to afford an appointment and a job to get money."

"I... guess that makes sense."

"Are you still planning to get a neurologist appointment?"

"Probably! Why, do you have an alternate suggestion?"

"I don't expect the neurologist to know, since aliens suddenly appearing and knowing English for no clear reason aren't a known phenomenon. Or for that matter non-aliens suddenly knowing English for no clear reason."

"That doesn't sound like an alternate suggestion to me!"

"It's not, but I think the neurologist would be a waste of your money."

"What else do you expect I could do with five hundred dollars that you expect would be worth more to me than a neurologist?"

"Many people find it useful to have savings in case of unexpected eventualities."

"I had no money at all when I first encountered humans, and have yet to encounter a use for money that looks like it will use it up faster than I can make it in the long term, so I think I am content with my current plans unless you have a compelling argument for why I shouldn't be!"

"I mean, I don't have anything against neurologists, you can give one your money if you want, I just think it's not going to help you at all."

"I am also curious about several other aspects of my brain besides the sudden English, since it appears to be capable of some things that human brains normally aren't!"
