Summary
The problem with having been a crow in your previous life- and a magically sustained crow at that- is that you are not familiar with the concept of a human diet. You are not familiar with the concept of food being more than worms and insects and small amounts of fruit, if Esther was nice enough to give them to you.
So when you start to get certain warning signs- light-headedness, cold sweats, a strange hollowness inside of you- you don’t know to clock them for what they are. You don’t know to notice that they are not normal.
You have no idea what being a human is like. You have no idea that it is far more wrong to have a hollow stomach than hollow bones.
And you know better than to beg. You know better than to request. Asking gets you accused of arguing. Begging gets you punished. Requesting gets you reprimanded.
And you don’t know what exactly the punishment will be here, in the Dead Boy Detective Agency, for being too human. For being too alive.
