The woman who had introduced herself as Carmine looks evenly at Ciel, quietly taking in what she says. There is something deeply ironic, in a way, that she was being told that she had a soul, not crystalized and present in an undeniable way in her body. She'd heard plenty of handlers say... Contractors were monsters, soul-less almost as much as a Doll was. And she hadn't bothered to doubt, believe, or even consider it.

[She never wanted to live forever. More importantly, she never wanted to live to be a Contractor again... and though she couldn't imagine a destination for the thing called a soul...]
... Having a soul is nice, too.
[Her fingers trace over the shard one more time, her smile growing just a bit as she warmed to the idea.]
