This is crazy. There's no way toasters work like that, Sophia is thinking. She's used toasters for years!
Of course, she never did have any talent for seeing spirits. Rather the opposite, if anything. Perhaps, all that time, there was a quiet toaster spirit at work.

How troubling.

Demons, of course, operate on a spiritual level. Reshaping the merely spiritual through the infusion of foreign spirits and out-of-band self. That's expected.
The hive, weirdly enough, also can operate on a spiritual level. Which only makes sense now that she thinks about it. How else does Faye work? How else did they get the phones?
But that means...anything could go. Any machine could be made to live.
"That does seems a shame. Is there any category of things without spirits?" she asks hopefully.
