Yeah, but that was true about my goldfish as well.

I stumbled across this entire story at like 2am and it reeled me in and I ended up reading all of it and was up to 9am 😭🙏 I was so delighted to see that it's ongoing and you still update it pretty regularly too 🥹

Okay, my current theory. By the law of conservation of matter, there needs to be excess matter somewhere, as the mass of Kass’s human form does not equal the mass of their Yinglet form. This means that part of Kass must be in that sludge somewhere right? It sounds gross, but given that matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only altered. So that must mean that Kass’s remaining molecules needed to go somewhere.
Not really a theory, but just a thought that this excavated bit must have pieces of Kass in there somewhere. Unless the glowy thingy is able to ignore the law of conservation of matter.

Oh fek yeah, full breakdown! Of course its doing that, makes complete sense. Now we just have to figure out why! (and how I can get one)

I hope Lopin is within throttling range as all of this is explained to Kass. Stress balls are very beneficial to stress relief, especially ones that directly caused your suffering and emit cries of discomfort.

I have a feeling that the mysterious Lesser Yinglet figures somehow into this story. It seems probable that the Greater ones came from the Lesser, perhaps with the aid of a similar sort of magic or technology. Antiquities!

Oh this is some TOP-quality body horror. As bad as your situation is, Kass, it could have been so much worse!
Given that the story so far has been "seemingly magical event occurs in seemingly non-magical world," this is EXACTLY the kind of additional horrifying information I've been hoping we'd get. It answers so many questions! And raises so many more! I'm as excited as Ran!

I think it was previously quasi-confirmed that this is an alien planet, and the humans are Terrans who lost a great deal of knowledge.

I was talking with friends last night, saying "Well, at least now we know it was configured to make a female yinglet from the start" -- but Ran's right, we actually don't! We still know very very little, actually! Heck!!

Ick! So... how many pre-human yinglets are there, really, and was this deliberate or 'natural'? Mysterious mystery of mysteries!
