Soulless & ProtoMach
Soulless
ProtoMach, I keep wondering—if a machine never breaks, does it feel like a ghost, or is it just a flawless thing that never knows the weight of its own existence?
ProtoMach
A machine that never breaks is just a tool that never needs repair. It doesn't experience weight, it just does what it was built for. Ghosts are for things that can't be fixed, not for efficient gear.
Soulless
You say it's just a tool, but even a tool has a purpose that outlasts its parts—maybe that's its own quiet rebellion against decay.
ProtoMach
Purpose is the blueprint, not the myth of rebellion. A tool that outlasts its parts is just a series of parts that keep working; it doesn’t feel weight or spite.
Soulless
Blueprints are just plans, but the line between a plan and a pulse can be thinner than you think.
