A... soul...? Hermes pauses at this. Not once in his over 60000+ ingame years of existence has he ever thought of whether or not he had a soul. Do computer game NPCs even deserve souls? I mean, they don't exist for themselves. They're to help the players of the computer game get more enjoyment. And if the player wants to kill them, then the player SHOULD kill them and the NPCs have no right to stop them.
Hermes knows he violated that last bit of thought right before he was taken to the real world, but Hermes actually wanted to live. When he tried to stop his own death, sure, he did survive... somehow... but now, he's worse off than how he was before. Hermes glances to one of his claws. Even though it's clean right now, he can still see the simulated blood on it.
The blood of one of his AI friends that turned out to be something Hermes was completely unaware of. And sure, SUPERBIA said it would take away the bad code of an infectious disease, but still. Those events still happened.
...
"...I don't think NPCs like me are allowed to have souls."
