Playmaker-san asked a good question about if our powers defined us. It's something I've been thinking about lately.
What if you have a power that goes against even your biology?
If it changes something about you that's always been a requirement?
As a Ghoul, I've always had to eat humans to live. There's no other way, it's how Ghouls are. How our bodies work.
But...the Porter has made it so I can eat human food now.
Before it made me sick. It tasted horrible. But now it's good, it doesn't make me weaker to eat it. If I can eat human food to live now, instead of humans...
Does that change who I am? Does it change what I am?
I have always been a Ghoul. I don't know how to be anything else.
[ 'i don't know if i want to be anything else' goes unsaid, but it's there.
thanks for the existential crisis, kidou. ]
