Why Vincent and Rachel can't become bizarre dolls

Their souls should have already been collected by active reapers, and that's what technically makes them dead, right?

They can't become bizarre dolls because:

1. Their bodies have been destroyed. Well, we know that's the case with Vincent. We are only assuming the same fate befell Rachel's body, since her body was right next to his when our earl found them.

2. If their bodies were destroyed, so were their cinematic records, which are stored in the brain.

No bodies. No cinematic records. No bizarre dolls.

Alexis' flashback

The Weston arc does include Alexis' flashback about how Diedrich became Vincent's fag at school. And a quick flashback about the Miracle of the Sapphires or Blue Miracle.

Though the Blue Miracle isn't central to the story, it suggests that Vincent did something underhanded for that win, just like his son.

And the part about Vincent and Diedrich helps explain why Diedrich is so loyal, even after Vincent's death.

Snakes watching

Whether they are telling Snake what's going on or not, I'm sure the snakes know Finny is sneaking around at night.

Like I've said before, his snakes don't always tell him everything they know -- did they tell him that Sebastian once tied them all into knots so our earl could sneak around the tents? -- and they might not want him to know that Doll isn't human anymore... or that she's now the enemy.

Of course, it is possible that Snake has been told something by his snakes, and he's just trying to trust whatever Finny is doing. Perhaps he even knows Doll isn't human anymore, but he can't bring himself to deal with her directly, so he might think it's good to let Finny do most of their real task here.

Considering these four top students, no I'm not particularly concerned he "blew his cover". This was actually a big break for him. The hard part will be getting Snake on board with whatever he and the others intend to do.

Snake's snakes would be of particular use here, I'm sure, as they could cause distractions for the staff. A bit like how they got onto the carriage that was taking our earl, Sebastian, and Blavat to jail.
