That's literally what instantly came to mind for me as well. Damn, my thinking process might be compromised.

I think I get what the system is trying to convey. It wouldn't be himself as he gave up on himself and his martial soul. If that's the case, then it would make sense if it was the means of validating himself and his ego. His ego would likely be the correct answer if it had asked 'what' instead of 'who'.

Damn, she has no chill.

Battle of the simps.

As a soul beast, it also makes sense to take matters of the soul more seriously. She herself has shed her beast body for a human one. She likely wouldn't care if her son was a human or a plant. A different soul, on the other hand....her child is probably 100% dead in her eyes.
