I think we need to be careful about jumping to conclusions, though. I think we need to be more mindful about looking for things that escape our notice the first time around.
And I don't mean we should do that during trials, I mean— in general.
[tilts his head at Chuuya, expression thoughtful]
You say you think this place is a holding pen— a feeding ground— for monsters. But is there more to it that we're missing?
Of course we do. We're not gonna get out of here if we just sit around and go "I guess it can't be helped."
[That's never been Chuuya's style, honestly.]
if the monsters were 'Blue' or the girls, I could see it as just being us brought here for food. But the monsters, they're mixed in with us, aren't they? And like, Nikki didn't seem to think she was one at all. Or at least she was friendly and nice up until that trial. She wouldn't do that if she just saw us as food.
[So, yeah. Even if he's pretty sure they're there to be eaten, he's also sure it's more complicated than just that.]

. . . so the question is, why are these transformations happening at all?

As nice as it sounds to get it all at once, I think this is a marathon, not a sprint.
We need to start getting smaller answers from the hosts firsts.
