"Momoku. There's something I want to tell you," said Okane, talking to Momoku telepathically to not raise any suspicion. "Go ahead. Tell me" said Momoku "Why do some sentient creatures feel emotion? Is it the neurons firing in their brain that act as a stimulus that allows them to react or respond to their surroundings? Or is it some unexplainable concept, that even with technology or the user of mathematics, that we could not decipher the meaning of such notion?" asked Okane, being philosophical as the parasite never felt emotions before. Momoku continued walking with the group, still keeping his distance and trying not to get too close, so as to not get called and be a "jerk" to a certain someone. "Well, for me, I think that there are certain beings with the capacity to feel emotions. It's referred to as instincts. These are the true and inner selves formed at their core. The difference between emotions and instincts is that: Emotion is the inner feeling a person expresses... It defines the feelings of the person in terms of happiness, sadness, fear, anger, etc. Whereas instinct is a behavior that is developed in a human to affect behavior and emotions." said Momoku. "So that's why that girl is mad at you because she felt negative about what you said... It seems to me that they do not use logic or they are simply plain stupid. Either one or the other." said Okane, trying to prove his point to Momoku "Perhaps so. We are all bounded by our emotions. In the early years of research, there are emotion scientists who believe in the concept of universality: 'Emotions are innate, biologically driven reactions to certain challenges and opportunities, sculpted by evolution to help one survive.' Basing it on a book by Feldman-Barrett, it was demonstrated how easy it is to misread an emotional expression......
For example, when we stopped the girl from shooting the soldier's genitalia. We first expected her to be surprised and somewhat startled just basing it off of her facial expression and body language. But as time went on, we first hypothesized that she is none other than a brawl. Who has a lot of physical strength, but lacks the intelligence to understand very complex and complicated situations, responding crudely and brutally than most people we've met. When provoked, she is prone to be violent and rude at times but treats other people she knows as kindly. Not only that, her body temperature dropped significantly as she held the cat just now. If we used a normal adult's body temperature to be 36.6 degrees Celcius as a base
and compare the heat signatures from her emotions earlier, we can conclude that it increased approximately 3.5 times the normal temperature, raising it to approximately 41 degrees Celsius, with it dropping down as we left. Moreover, combining the variables from our observation and our early interaction makes this hypothesis to be 85.02% accurate." said Momoku, analyzing the girl's movement patterns and her facial expression as they are walking with a simple glance. "I agree. Our investigation around this area has proven to be worthwhile. This could spark the start of our plan of taking down Griffith. But I think, we still lack the necessary equipment to stop him." said Okane. "Then again, looking at them now. They must've spotted us a bit earlier, given that most of their powers we've observed are proven to be true... However, we still need to be careful, who knows if they are a part of Griffith" says Momoku. "You're overthinking it Momoku. If they are under Griffith's wing, then why would they bother going to Haven instead of heading the other way? It doesn't make any sense that they would do it. Not unless they have been sent by Griffith to infiltrate Haven...." says Okane. "The chances are low, but not zero. We have to be prepared for anything. Even when it seems peaceful." says Momoku.
