"This is the usual practice, yes. There are exceptions when a Stitcher is attacked. But those are rare! We wouldn't be able to live with other intelligent lifeforms very well if we didn't respect their wishes." "Oh." He looks down at the secondary. "You choose to.. lose... self?" The little Stitcher cocked its head up at him. "I dunno. We took out the bad guys! We get the ship now!" "These babies are from an attack that occurred today. Many good people were killed in the attack, and among the attacked party's numbers was a Stitcher who managed to infect some of the attackers before they left. The infected were able to take over the ship, and bring the leaders of the attack to prison." |

I thought.. you asked?" |

"We normally do. As I said before, exceptions are made in cases where we are attacked." |

Luke pauses again. "But... you still didn't ask... You could fight them... but not... rob them. Not the same..." He pats the little stitcher's head. "I am sorry they took you from.. you. Sad sad." |

I think we should be going." the adult said. The little ones sighed and wished Luke a farewell. |

He had questions but... didn't wanna be a bother. He watched them go. |

Luke went on to paraphrase his meeting the "Stitches", and how they said they took all the memories from a thing but said it was the same thing. "They say... they are not like me, but... I know I am... not who this was before I was me, but I have a little memory from them... if you have none.. can you still be you...?" |

But you know you are not the same person, while they insist they are. What reasons do they have for their claim? How do you know you are not the same, and why would their experience differ?" |

"I am not same... because they say I don't act like who it was.. or know anything about him... I know I came from another thing. I don't know what they think... but the one said that the little ones were the same but I don't think the little ones... knew or cared... They say they benefit creature... but they also take theirself away..." Luke, thankfully, has gotten better at speaking together in phrases. |
