"I could touch yours for proof of its existence but it would be excruciatingly painful for you," he says. But he knows it's there. It's not just some thing of faith. "A single soul can produce an equivalent amount of light to a hundred suns. They hold substantial power. To the supernatural world they're better currency than any form of money. A tiny radiant nuke, unable to be broken by anything. Together? Castiel used something-upwards to fifty-thousand souls to kill one of my brothers, Raphael. An archangel." And then he went to play God but that's quite a tangent.
"Without it humans are... shells. No concept of right or wrong, no ties to hold them back, no emotions, feelings. Just emptiness." And then comes some of Lucifer's own confusion because he doesn't have a soul but, "I don't know what happens to angels when they lose their grace. I don't know why it opens up... more. We're not human just... I don't know, adjacent, but... all I can figure is it opens up a gap where God would've tacked on a soul if he ever thought to give us anything. Some dregs of our grace just getting tacky and unreasonable."
