007 - Video (possible acrophobia description warning)
[The feed clicks on to an extremely high view, focused partly on Tetsuo's face, the wind blowing his white hair erratically around. He's perched vulturelike on the support structures of one of the taller buildings in downtown Nonah, above the top floor, waiting for the wind to die down enough for him to talk.
And that's not even what he's here to talk about. Both hands are visible, and the camera is held very still; he's either got it perched on something or is holding it up with his powers.]
So, I've been thinking... We're all made out of elements and stuff, right? Carbon, nitrogen and water, things like that. All that boring shit they make you learn about in school.
[Apparently water's an element now. He pauses.]
But that's what I don't get. Ever since I really started to think about it... I keep coming back to it, you know? How we're all made out of a small list of ingredients...
[Sorry to anyone with a fear of heights - he reaches out to tap the comm and the camera moves dizzyingly downwards, providing a nice scene of lower building roofs, cars no larger than colorful beads, some trees... It pans out out to give a dramatic view of the rest of Nonah as he continues.]
But that same list makes all of this, too! What's the difference? How's something alive the same as stuff that can't be?

[Don't as how he knows that, Tetsuo. He doesn't even know where that came from either.]
I think Carbon's what makes it alive or not--what are you even doing up there? Taking up job as city's daredevil?

It's not really what it's made of, but what those things combine to be. The human body functions as a single organism, but inside are many systems that run it. It's the combination, I suppose. And the existence of a consciousness, but that's still a running debate.

Evolution plays a major part in it, but it's really not an easy question to answer.
Really I don't know if there even is an answer beyond just "evolution".

It's like oxygen or something. That's beside the point.

Tetsuo, you do realize the question you're asking doesn't have a short answer? People have spent their entire lives trying to solve tiny subsets of that problem.

The answer to your question can only be found by asking another question first, Tetsuo. What are the characteristics which make something truly alive, as opposed to the roofs of Nonah?
[Yes, this is muddying the waters further and is also friggin' hard to answer. No, Dooku does not care.]
