Summary
It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.
For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.

On a mission, Murderbot gets shot. When it finds out the comm it keeps under its ribs was also damaged, it has a completely normal and rational response.

Summary
When I did manage to pull myself together enough to have coherent thoughts and recognize the physical body I was still inhabiting, the wings were still there, which was just great. They didn't hurt anymore. No, it was worse. They were itchy.

Summary
Soulbond plots were rarely interesting in media, and I was even less interested in understanding their touchy-feely relationship ramifications in real life humans. So I didn’t give a shit.
Until suddenly I was forced to give a lot of shits.

Summary
If you want to pass as human, I can build a specialized drone for you that will mimic the appearance of a daemon from a distance. With time, it may even collect enough dust from you to become something akin to a true construct animus.
