Perhaps you're right about that, after the things we've seen.

I wish that weren't so. If it were me, I... [A pause. Though she can't see it, he chews his lip] Mm. No. I would be stopped.

[There's a level of certainty in that statement that translates even in text. And then he simply moves on from it, as though it bears no explanation]

But a ghoul reaching a point of starvation would run on pure instinct, and would be liable to recall nothing until after their hunger had been sated.

If they are lucky, it will seem to them much like a fever dream, or a hallucination. Disconnected.

[If they were lucky, anyway.]

That would be the difference between biological impulse and sickness. There are tales in my library of similar creatures with "hungers".

[ex_adept136]

I'll hope for that much then, at least, after all they've gone through here.

What sorts of beings do those stories talk about?

[Maybe that will be a lighter subject]

[grunehexe]

[Mmm... hope.]

You may have similar stories in your own world. Nachzehrer and the like.

[It's a good thing he reads so much]

That's some sort of vampire, right?

[grunehexe]

A comparable sort of being, yes.

[ex_adept136]

They're only in fiction, in my home.

But then, I guess it'd be a bit excessive on top of ghouls.

[The weakest stab at humor...]
