Added DiffLines:
* ''The Life Cycle of Software Objects'':
** AbandonWare: Neuroblast Digients and their food software both become this after Blue Gamma goes under, being released for free for any remaining enthusiasts. Later on Data Earth itself becomes this, which is a problem for the Neuroblast Digients who can't exist on the wider web without prohibitively expensive custom software.
** DigitalAvatar: Humans use these to interact with their Digients, as well as others in Cyber Space. One Digient customer complains that his Digient isn't learning fast enough, and the support staff point out that his avatar is a humanoid pile of money and lacks the facial expressions the Digients are raised to respond to.
*** This is also Inverted with the Robot Suits, which allow Digients to explore the real world.
** {{Griefer}}: One breaks into the Neuroblast private island and shows them footage of himself torturing a digient. Ana makes the pivotal choice to suspend her digient Jax until the griefer is removed, breaking a promise she made never to suspend him.
** KissMeImVirtual: This is one of the few options available to Neuroblast Digients that want to make money. They're not as good as other Digients at analysis or clerical work, but their advanced emotional intelligence from years of training makes them valuable as digital lovers. However, all their human owners are disgusted by this idea.
** RaisedByRobots: Inverted. Digients are virtual robots that are raised by human interaction, becoming more emotionally and intellectually intelligent with more interaction. Digients without human interaction become "Feral" and spend their days wandering randomly of socializing.
** SenseFreak: Digients that use a robot body to explore the "outer world" are fascinated by their sense of touch, because Data Earth surfaces only have a shape and a friction value.
** UncannyValley: Deliberately averted by Derek, the artist for the mascot Digients, who wanted them to seem cute and approachable but not too animal-like.
** WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: This is the final tension in the story, where both Derek and Ana have opposing views on how to handle their maturing Digients. Derek decides to allow his digients Marco and Polo to be (consensually) modified so they experience human sexuality. Ana favors keeping her digient Jax innocent, even at cost to her own health.
