I'll do my best! To start with, a soul is like a blue flame! It's a dead person that's left their body behind! They're basically alive, except for the fact that they're not.
[ are you having regrets yet, 45... ]
A core is a little harder. It's, um... like the center of a thing! And that thing can be a person or an object! So, if you're a soul, you have a core, but if it has a core, that doesn't mean it has a soul. Does that make sense?
Oh, that's right! Silly me, how could I forget about dogs?

I think... it's sort of the thing that makes you who you are! Because after you die, you're unconscious for a while. And then, you don't remember who you are. Everything is really fuzzy, like you've just woken up from a reeeeeeeeeally long nap! But you do remember! And then everything comes flooding back!
So not too far off from a neural core, just much less physical... That's rather interesting. And I take it you went through that yourself, Missile?
[ spooky. ]
But that sounds like it's only for things with a soul. What happens if you take the core out of something that doesn't have a soul? Is that even possible?
