Something that deeply fascinates me about this setting is how being eaten doesnt mean being condemned to some kind of hell, these people are straight up just...living? Is it like that in every creature when you get eaten? From how they are talking here you could still possibly break off into an individual?

Maybe i need to go back and read but its just so interesting.

A TRUE MAN OF CULTURE!

Her character arc from like, timid young woman to full blown motherly leader is really sweet. I like how she is willing to do all this just to make sure these guys dont lose their minds cause they are in body horror land >w <
