Where I'm from, a human's soul doesn't go anywhere when they're possessed. They're just...napping, I guess? Inside their body, while the demon controls them. And then when the demon gets kicked out of the person's body, they wake up without really remembering what happened.
[Rin's world might be a bit kinder because of that. Shounen demon logic.]
[There is a slight flare of irritation, but it passes quickly. Rin's trying to understand Spike, not challenge him. Giving in to his short temper wouldn't help here.]
There's still 'something' of you here. Even if your soul is...wherever it went, the rest of you is right here. Your mind, your memories, your heart. Those still make you 'something'.

I don't know if I want it like that.
