I think it's important to me that Roland was the only member of the Embryon who took the Demon Virus willingly.
They didn't have a cannibalism taboo, or at least not a cultural one. He did.
They didn't have a life before the virus. He did.
He must have had an idea of a life he could have returned to once all this was over, but even if he got his life and job back, he'd still need to eat people for the rest of his days.
He knew all this. And he took the virus anyways.
