[ There's still sadness there, still loss, but it shades bittersweet, Root touched beyond words that Shaw sees this part of her as something good, her ability to believe. Since she's been prompted, she doesn't hold back; the words pour out of her into the still air and she feels each one of them is true. ]
I believe there's no way my brain or an A.I. could guess that you would say that. I believe that we're all a collection of electrical signals in the end, and maybe a computer can't process things the same ways we do, but that doesn't mean it can't copy us. I believe that we're signals in a new environment.
If you took people from centuries ago and put them in a rocket and blasted them out of Earth's orbit, and they saw what's out there isn't God and heaven but a freezing vacuum filled with rocks and gasses, they'd ask if that was real, if they were even real anymore.
But there's something in us that is irreducible. A thing we are regardless of context. I believe that irreducible part of me is here, and so is that part of you.
