Soldat braces themselves for a long list, taking a moment to condense it into as few words as possible. "Where spirits come from-- they come from us. Lantern people. Scrapyard dog used to be one, saw them grow their mask. Saw failed attempt at killing a World Eater. Learned some about how spirits react to World Eaters. Saw an original, living Beacon person who thinks at least one World Eater was destroyed by bombs. Suggests either he was wrong, or more keep coming."
