If anyone comes across a building called Pay for Exchange, don't go in it.

[Asriel's voice sounds shaky and clearly upset with something. Maybe he should've switched to text, but he thinks it's too late now.]

They... they sell copies of people - people you can swap bodies with for a day. And they'll make copies of anyone who goes in their store, real actually alive copies too.

[Asriel's still sick to his stomach that he found "himself" for sale, but clearly the people on this colony didn't exactly see why it was a problem to sell living, unconscious bodies. But he's too scared to go back...]

J-just stay far away from it, okay? They don't ask you or anything, and they don't have any problems making a copy of you and putting it up for sale.

It's not really practiced anymore, and it was less making copies of people and more literally letting someone else borrow your actual body for a while. It's kind of the same idea with the whole body swapping thing, but to me this seems a lot more intrusive. We at least gave permission and were compensated accordingly. This is just downright creepy.

There wasn't ANY permission here. They don't seem to care at all if they have your permission or not.

I'm not sure if it'd be any better if they did ask. I think I'd rather just stick with my own body instead of trading it for someone else's.
