[For what it means, if anything, Angeal says that with a steady confidence that made it pretty clear why a lot of lower class SOLDIERs looked to him for guidance. There's not a trace of hesitation or doubt in his words, no room for them to waver.]
On occasion, in that sort of situation, we'd end up in a 'real' world one way or another - whether by accident or on purpose. When that happened, I can tell you that the difference between the simulation and the real world was as stark and shocking as a ghost pepper on your tongue versus vanilla ice cream.
The thing about a simulation is that it can only accurately mimic so much. With things like sight-
[He waggles a hand a bit.]
- or hearing -
[A sharp tap of his finger against the table's surface.]
It can do things pretty well... although I think if either sense is truly beyond the norm, you might notice things that are just a little off. Even touch could be tricked a fair bit.
However, the senses of smell and taste? The simulation never quite managed to get those right... although it's not surprising that they're in it together, considering they influence one another.
[Smiling wryly, Angeal taps the side of his nose.]
I'm a baker by trade, and I do lots of cooking just on my own time as well, so I noticed that sort of thing right off the bat. Once I noticed that being off, I inevitably noticed how the rest of my senses were off too. It always took a minute back in the simulation for it to not feel so fake...
Anyway. While things are definitely strange in their own ways here, I can at least tell you that much. It's real.
