"I hope so." This has the air of being genuine, really genuine, though Spirit doesn't expand on the thought. Being unable to transform is like missing half of himself: who is he, if not a Weapon?

He doesn't let himself dwell on the thought. "I'm still me in there. The form doesn't matter, just the soul. Looking different doesn't change who I am. You're not any different if you cut your hair off. You don't suddenly lose the ability to think, you just look a little different. Same concept."
