"It's something from the past. Don't let it bother you."

Alice still looked slightly concerned
"Are... Are you sure?"

 ""Contractor Alpha-Epsilon-389: Eduard Gerber. Student of engineering. Sexual deviant. Social outsider. Falls in love with Hilda Koubek, who is working in the local bakery. He begins buying the same bag of cookies from her every day, for 2 years. Eventually, he confesses his love. He is rejected. He begins to stalk Hilda Koubek, for another 2 years. He observers her becoming the girlfriend of Franz Stettin. He murders both of them with a boxcutter, however is too much of a coward to finish his plan and kill himself. He feels lonely. Using the pictures he took of Hilda Koubek, he builds a primitive robot in her likeness. He hugs the robot every day. He is not satisfied. He wants Hilda Koubek back. On an underground tech-forum he learns of the mistress. He asks her to put Hilda Koubeks soul in the robot he built. the mistress explains she can not. But she offers him an alternative. In exchange for Eduard Gerbers soul, she takes the robot, upgrades it, and installs her servant Hanaestil. She gives Hanaestil the task to simulate the behaviour of Hilda Koubek, as described by Eduard Gerber. They live together for 3 years. Eduard Gerber is not satisfied. He is burdened by his guilt, and the knowledge that this is not the real Hilda Koubek. He orders Hanaestil to uninstall and delete all files. He now finishes his plan and commits suicide. An error occurs. Fragments of Hanaestil remain in the robot. In the three years, reality had infested these parts, and they had to be severed to allow Hanaestil to return into the void. The remain fragments continue the simulation of Hilda Koubek, the baker." she says, repeating a recording.

 "In other words, a poor guy builds me for love and sex, sells his soul to a powerful void entity which places a fragment of herself into me. Creation manifested within this fragment and lost memory, only retaining the personality of the simulation of Hilda Koubek--me."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alice felt tears build up in her eyes, she did her best to hold them back though. She reached forwards and hugged HILDA
"I'm... I'm so sorry"

"Why are you sorry?"

Alice paused for a moment slightly confused
"Because... Because of what... what happened to you"

HILDA nodded and continued.
 "And because of this uncreated fragment within me, I can never have a soul. I don't have my own dreams--only simulations of romance, sex, and combat each night. Without a soul, am I truly a person, or am I just a machine animated with uncreated magic?"

Alice listened, after HILDA had finished she spent a while thinking then finally she spoke.
"I... I think you... you are a person"

 "That may be what everyone believes, but not me. I'll get my soul, even if I have to go through hell to do so."

Ktakubo leaps up into the tree with Bartimaeus. She is aware of his nature, but him being in the form of a raven is conforting.

Suddenly, Marie!

"You bots really are obsessed with souls, aren't you? Did I tell you about my soulless friends? No, really. I knew otherwise normal people who didn't have souls. No magic, so I guess the soul was needed for human magic, but they made up for it, usually with thinking or social skills. Actually, all of them were very pleasant people who would easily pass a Turing test. Alice's right about that, certainly."

 "I don't truly feel human emotion. I am a machine, not an actual person. Perhaps with more emotion than the norm, but still without a soul."

<All this talk about souls. The only thing they're useful for is providing energy for the Void.>
