How would a child who is nonverbal for whatever reason become fixed in a webwork? Are there reasons other than nonverbality that such fixing might fail in early childhood?
How do webworks adapt to ethnogenesis? Or, conversely, to the dissolution of an ethnicity after genocide or assimilation?
I think you've said on FFA that you haven't worked out the worldbuilding details of soul restoration, but it seems that you intend to make it a thing. If Samaren's soul can be restored to him, might he experience crushing guilt for many of the things he's done, perhaps especially killing the man who rescued him? (I don't get the impression that Detrich was the one who uprooted Samaren in the first place, but I could be wrong/misremembering.) What kind of expiation or reparation would he have to make to attain a measure of peace?
I have all sorts of questions. :)
