Yknow what, while we're conversing, entertain an inquiry of mine, would you? Only if you want though.
Out of curiosity, when it comes to people dying on your island... How many of them are your direct doing? Like- does every person who arrives end up dying specifically because you did something or do some of them just die from the stuff that's on your island without your direct intervention or control?
What people and animals consider dying and what I consider dying are two quite separate things. By all accounts, as soon as they step upon me, they are dead. There is no way to escape. There is no way to postpone it. It is instant and wholly consuming. They are no longer what they were. Memories are to be erased. Life is now a fleeting moment between a fragile mind and me.
There is no more existing for them. Not in a meaningful manner that they will ever understand. They will never know anything but me again.
To me, they die when their body has decayed to the point where it is useless. Often it's just a mass of bones and meat and muscles at that point โ I make sure to use them up until the very end, of course. I simply leave it for my other aspects to deal with. Some eat it, some decorate with it... honestly I couldn't care less. It is worth nothing anymore, and I move to my next vessel. If it wasn't a vessel and just some spare, well... the same thing occurs.
