[It is absolutely zombie shit, as proven when she pulls out her phone and shows Harrow a familiar message. Except this time, there's no thumb over her screen.]
I think someone told the dead I eat people. So, depending on how Vira and Medb's thing goes, that might be about to become a whole thing. [SWEATY. INCREDIBLY UNHAPPY. Like they don't have enough issues this week.] Vira knows, too, by the way. Takeru doesn't. But Douman and Luca both knew, and I'm assuming that's how everyone else over there found out.
Oh, dear. Well. Hmm. Maybe we ought to. . . make that part of Vira's considerations. [She chews on her thumbnail a little.]
They know you specifically eat them? I suppose that's the part where people would feel oddly uncomfortable with it. If it was just from your memories, we could have said it isn't a factor here, but Kaz Kaan seems to know more.
I'll take care of that. [AKA, she is going to sweat on Vira.] But that's the sense I got from that last line. I played dumb in front of everyone else, but I am pretty sure the little asshole blew his load talking about how fucked up it is that I eat people when that's the way he died. And then he, in almost comedic fashion, ran out of characters trying to write "don't eat me you bitch."
Okay. Well, listen. If it comes out, it comes out. Everyone knows we can just not vote now, so in the off chance someone dies this week, you won't be at risk from that.
[She sighs.] I suspect that some of them are upset is a cultural difference I can't get my head around. On the Ninth, we use our dead for whatever purposes we need them for; we don't let them go to waste by rotting in a grave. Whose bones do they think these are? [So it's just. Not a big deal, that she's eating them? She didn't kill them or anything?] If it comes out, I've known for weeks now, and I truly don't care if anyone knows that, so make use of me as a character witness.
[Harrow is truly the MVP... Sheila gives her a thin lipped smile, grateful.]
You're such a good friend, you know? Thank you.
[And then she sighs.]
I wish there were more people like you around. Like, why is everyone so obsessed with preserving the body? [Scoffing, like she wasn't one of those people months ago.] What do they think happens when they put it in the ground? The worms are going to eat it anyway, man. Or in this case, a terrible horror baby may eat it as a snack.

[Maybe... Maybe Kaz should stay dead, too.]

[She sasses, but she's actually touched, and a little embarrassed to be complimented.]

[Accept the compliment, Harrow.]
