That's a good question. He's been like this, like the current Cole for a year or so, but before that? When he wasn't Cole, when he was just a spirit? He honestly has no idea. Those memories are faded, fuzzy, far away. He's not able to answer 9S's question and that annoys Cole more than he's like to admit.

"I don't really know," Cole answers, with a frown. "It's a haze. Spirit turned mixture turned something else entirely."

He's unsure for a reason.
