Yeah, before. Back in my world, it was normal for people to have all sorts of extra things, you know?
I had jacks like these [- Said while pointing to a pair, of course -] but they were part of my ears. All skin, no rubber, with just the copper pins at the ends.

I'm really happy I got to keep them. I guess that's... actually pretty rare around here, you know?
Most people lose that kinda stuff even before they start turning into anything.
