You focus inwards to figure out what does what. After a period of poking yourself, prodding, and covering several body parts with your hands. You determine that what Current Self knows as ears are responsible for noise hearing, the odd protrusion on your... Face? Current Self says it's face. Doesn't remember the protrusion's name. Current Self says that's scent. And your vision comes from two light sensitive orby things in your face. Current Self also doesn't remember their names but does remember how they work. Touch appears to be your entire flesh, including the area Last Self melded to. And Last Self appears to be your Thinking Sense, as well as Internal Sense. Apparently Current Self when it was prey had a number of things that did important things. Now everything sorta just does everything. Except thinking. Thinking is done by a fleshy thing in the top limb that's enclosed in.. Bone. It's also where most senses are. And.. Mouth. Mouth is there also. Mouth apparently wants to bite things. Mouth notes that Stomach is telling it to fill it. ..And thinking is also done by Last Self. Who is in your abdomen. Last Self is Melding still.
You notice the red stuff is slowly stopping leaking out near Last Self. Last Self is using Internal Sense to stop it. Says it's a waste to let it leak.
Current Self muses about something called a space suit for a minute. Prey clearly isn't wearing anything beyond a white cloth.. Thing. ..Jumpsuit? Probably jumpsuit. Last Self thinks this musing is pointless and is interested in fondling prey before eating it. Specifically in the... Armpit areas? No no no. Current Self thinks that's weird. Last self thinks maybe later? ..Current Self thinks maybe.
You approach Prey. Prey slides to the side and ends up in the corner. Prey smells quite tasty.. [13+2=15 vs 19+5=24]
*Crunch* Oh dear. Mouth appears to have taken the initiative. Prey ducked your bite. The wall now has a large chunk torn out of it. Tastes like... Plaster according to Current Self. Current Self isn't sure what that is though. As you pull back and remove the plaster from your mouth, Prey tries running past you. Last Self isn't going to have none of that and swings an arm at Prey. [

13 Turns until Target Turns. Target resurrects in 13 turns if it dies beforehand.] Prey lies there screaming, a chunk of its.. Shoulder missing and now in your belly. You can feel a Self growing in Prey's innards. It will think to you soon.
Last Self thinks more eating should happen but also thinks not eating is a good idea as well. Mouth and Stomach agree with the first idea. Right forearm and Left Big Toe think No.
