Not all souls are the same, Hillary.

Some return to the Earth hundreds, thousands of times, having learned a few lessons, making no amends.

Irredeemable, no matter how many times they go up.

Just what will be left behind?

But some...

Those who have progressed wisdom, they combine with other spirits, and when they return to the earth, they help pave the way for others to follow their good example.

These souls, Hillary, are old souls.

They can tell the tale of their greater transmigration through certain signs.

A brief peek into the future, an ear bent to the voice of the dead.

If we can stop these souls from returning to the cycle, we storm the machine.

We hold back the hands of time.

To achieve that, we stuff such souls into the bodies of pigs, while they will be kept until the end of time.

Souls, Hillary, just like yours.

Take her to the altar.

Yes, my lord.
