   Summary

   Most people are aware of the fact that they have a soul prior to meeting their soulmate.
   We aren’t most people.
   (Part 1: A partial retelling of Artifical Condition from ART’s POV, wherein everyone’s favourite asshole research transport discovers 1. That it has a soul, and 2. That it has a soulmate. It handles this news completely rationally.
   Part 2: A partial retelling of Network Effect, Murderbot POV, where it also has some uncomfortable realizations.)
