It's one of the words that has always triggered a negative response from Robin. While it doesn't sound like all worlds have the same stark divide that Ishiah's own does, the fact is that soul, to Ishiah and most others from his world, is something which only believers of God have. It's a way of marking God's creatures as His own, and providing them the chance to receive their ticket past the pearly gates, whenever it comes to be time for that.
Robin can't ever enter Heaven, doesn't technically have a soul. And there's a certain hopelessness that comes with considering that fact. Someday, the two of them will separate for good.
No way of finding their way back.
"I assure you," Ishiah says at last. "I'm making no special effort to look into any soul, yours or anyone else's. But I agree that... in one way or another, there's a lot that the two of us share. It's freeing, I would say, knowing that others stand on roughly the same ground."
