[quote=GuyYouWishYouDidntKnow] The Kishin's natural state isn't a Kishin, though. A Kishin never starts as a Kishin. Let me use an in-universe comparison of what Aqua Vitae can do. One of its purposes can be the purification of a vampire. A vampire can be compared to the Kishin, they are a being that is "no longer human", that has grown to become something non-human. The "natural state" of a vampire can be considered just being a vampire, by the same logic as what you applied to the Kishin, but Aqua Vitae restores them to a base level of humanity. Regardless of how vampiric they are, of how deeply ingrained being a vampire is a part of them, Aqua Vitae washes that away and makes them human.It is an ultimate purification tool that operates physically, mentally, magically, and conceptually. Even if used on a Kishin, it restores them to the status of a man.That said, I have no issue with what you did with Mia. It's fine if the shock from losing the Black Blood drove her insane again, but the existence of the Black Blood itself is no longer present. That said, this won't be an issue for her heart because Aqua Vitae also regrew her heart, same with Stein, so they don't have to worry about dying from lack of heart. [/quote] Are the souls the Kishin nom'd still around after they nom them and they're just "abosrbed"? Or are they just processed.
