In Dead Things Bloom, the souls being split are entropic individuals with entropic souls and entropic bodies. An entropic soul decays into 2 separate individual entities as soon as it's split. Shady is a Syntropic Omnid with a fractal engine heart, so unlike Nessy/Kristi she can shear herself without fully splitting dimensionally, meaning all of those souls shards aren't individuals, they're all Shady, almost like tentacles of an octopus. Thus, the only person being tormented here is Shady experiencing every death and every bite from different perspectives of the biter and the girl getting her arm bit off. Their individuality is less "I am" and more like Shady herself lacking finer control over her extra bodies/minds/shards, letting them wiggle slightly around outside of her control, like a finger twitching on its own from a damaged nerve. Like Ash who's dimensionally split between 2 bodies, Shady is dimensionally split between 114 bodies in this chapter. This is also the reason why these Shadies don't live very long, they're all HER being stretched dimensionally [which physical laws REALLY doesn't like]. Eventually, the rubber band snaps back eliminating the extra Shadies with extreme prejudice, creating potent Astral Fountain blooms, leaving holes in the physical where they used to be [as 113 shards snap back into Shady]. Candace and Addie went on to have 18 years of life and these Shadies cannot ever become their own individuals nor develop unique presonalities as by their very nature, Omnids are a dimensional funnel that opposes entropy/duplication/decay.

It is explicitly laid out in "Where Dead Things Bloom" that when a soul is split into pieces across multiple bodies, each resulting entity is a seperate person with their own identity, personality, and perspective, as is the case with Nessy and co 2.0. As such, the clones created here are not just extensions of Shady, they are distinct individuals who were created and mutilated so they could deteriorate and die as sapient bombs. They had 0 say in any of this as Nexxali forced them to follow her every command. They're like the clones from Star Wars, but with an even shorter lifespan and no chance of resisting their commands, developing their own personalities, or even surviving their first day.

2025-11-10 07:44:57 +0000 UTCI imagine the corpse seekers would have picked the corpses up during the evacuation and not having corpses that show what they died off is probably very beneficial. Since the resurrected ones won't remember what they died of. Probably easier and faster to just have them eat the corpses than hauling them somewhere else and hiding/disposing them otherwise.

2025-11-05 16:34:46 +0000 UTCI wonder what the point of eating the keeper and the two guards was? Save some storage space on the seeker? Imagine having too much furniture in your home, banging your toe on the coffee table and going like, That's it, I'm directing my army of clones to commit cannibalism while we all watch. The logic's a bit fuzzy there.

2025-11-05 16:23:00 +0000 UTCShady is not from other book mc universe. Shady wasn't born in Omnithornia like Cinder or Vee, she was born on the corpse god Citadel, a different dimension. She studied in Omnithornia Skyfall ye but she grew up in Frontenachii empire dominion capital.

Tho Shady being one coming from the same universe as the MC from the other book still seems odd, though I guess omnids are outside of normal spacetime, it's just we've only really seen slayer and accompanying leviathan girls from individual realities so far to my knowledge, unless I missed something.
