Didn't you just say that digestion's not a thing here?" }, { "id": 34, "model": "파우스트", "content": "If I were to continue my deductions... perhaps \"consumption of blood,\" for Bloodfiends and Bloodbags, is a process fundamentally different from our \"consumption of nutrients\" for energy." }, { "id": 35, "model": "파우스트", "content": "To them, blood is a culmination, an entailment of something that forms the self, including but not limited to: emotions, ambitions, wealth, purposes of existence... Then, it must follow that they can spend their blood at will, which is a process isolated from other biological processes such as digestion." }, { "id": 36, "model": "히스클리프", "content": "Whu... uh.

Well, I suppose they are." }, { "id": 39, "model": "이상", "content": "Though we cannot tell whether they are in a state of alteration, or whether they remain ensnared in the wheel of creation and destruction, it can be said that emotions, once passed, exist not in continuation." }, { "id": 40, "model": "이상", "content": "The passengers' will to live, the worth of this very existence in which they thrive—does it not all gently atrophy into nonexistence even amidst the \"ceased\" time?
