Disgaea 0,24: Inclination of Lies

Post-game skit - Science

Caramel: You never told me... Why are magic and science in conflits? Science is made for progress, not bad things.

Idea: I do not know, really. I do not know either why science is often treated as taboo and the complete opposite of magic, this thought is pretty senseless.

Caramel: Can't science be magic too? How do the brain's chemistry and the operation of the nervous system go together to create something that's an illusion?

Idea: I see... The thing is, of course, that we don't understand it all yet. But the easy processes can be understood at a very high level. It is an illusion that I see in humans that, say, heat causes tiredness. Heat can increase blood flow in many parts of the body, including the nervous system. The nervous system responds in a fairly predictable way, with the arms and legs becoming more active. That is a sign of having more blood going to the parts of the body that are being heated. Naturally, if that blood then goes to the muscles, then you have pain, because it has to travel through the body to get to the muscles. Whereas, if the blood gets to the nerves, it can give a sense of being tired because there is less going to the muscles. But there is much less that is going to their nerves, because there is no pain in the nervous system. The whole thing is that the brain can remember the feeling of not being in pain, and it can then associate that with not feeling very well.

Caramel: So... It's like magic?

Idea: It's not magic. There is a lot of work going on in the world to understand what the brain is doing with these phenomena. But one thing that I feel is very certain is that if the neural pathways that are involved in pain in the brain were somehow damaged, then the effect that the nerves are thought to give will be lost. I've seen it in experiments; if a part of the brain, such as the insula, is damaged, the whole system can fall apart. We do not know all the details of how it happens, but I do believe there are some unknown steps. If the brain does not work as well as we think, surely.

Caramel: Can you feel pain? Because I heard you screaming a lot about it and ranting it many time.

Idea: Indeed, I do, like a various number of people and even some other machines of the same kind, I was built to feel pain, entire various sensations that pertain and my skin was made practically like flesh, when it gets hurts, it's almost like my neck would snap.

Caramel: Yucky...

Idea: *she slowly lifted her head* Yes, but I cannot do anything about it, sadly and it is a normal occurence among us, I believe I am being honest. All this knowledge I received was worth the try to say even if I might have been wrong at some points. I am partly made of magic but the exact word for this magic is mana. *end of action* I wish to learn more about the human anatomy and biology, but trust me, I am not a pervert.

Caramel: What does being a pervert means?

Idea: Something disgusting and suspicious that you shouldn't know. I found an ancient grimoire related to sciences and technologies if that would answer more of your questions.

Caramel: Oooooh... Like the things the sleepwalkers used. What's that ancient grimoire?

Idea: The grimoire is called "A Touch of Magic: A History of Manipulation, Combat Sciences, Far Away Imagination, Netherscience and Electricity." I think it's a really wonderful grimoire. I might be a futuristic machine like I partially said, but I find things of the past nice. If you want to know, I am made of magic too but not a lot, that magic is actually called Mana.

Caramel: But... This could also be about /Hypothesism/ futurism even if it's ancient...

Idea: Whatever. *she brought it* Here you go.

W...Wait? Nothing is inside!

Caramel: Umm...

Sakura: Your speech was already a complex long waste of time and then nothing's inside... *sighs*

Idea: SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THERE?!
