omg??? idk if i agree that the organ the users of the broken peacock valued the most are what pass on to their children as a prevalent trait (the sentibeing concept still largely confuses me personally but wouldn't that mean that piece of the user passes onto every single sentibeing they create even if it isn't an offspring? i just don't know if we have evidence of that and astruc isn't addressing that aspect of the theory here) but it is fascinating to think about. when he says "emotion that is at the origin of the sentibeing" it probably is related to what the user values and their reason for creation, so that organ being a kind of "exchange" for using the (broken) peacock in the first place makes sense, and if the organ affected ends up being a vital organ it leads to death (so in emilie and colt's case, the heart and brain, whereas tomoe can survive without her eyes). interesting. (what was nathalie's vital organ that was failing?)
