[So that's what Hakkai meant by "it wasn't long since I was human" earlier in this conversation.

Sebastian is quiet for a while, staring down into his tea.

The idea is unpleasant, violating - as much as he knows the Admiral has already altered things about him, the thought of asking him to do it...

But at the same time, what Hakkai is saying makes a certain kind of sense.]

Your suggestion is not that it be permanent?

[reformedsinner]

No. If you find it intolerable, I'd revoke it at once.

Otherwise -- if it works well enough that you can start to develop the habit of not enjoying suffering, I would like to return it slowly, because when you are able to leave you will have that sense back. [And so, the final goal is for Sebastian to be able to not enjoy suffering even when it does smell delicious.]

If it doesn't work at all, then after a few months, we can decide to take a different path and I would ask for your senses to be returned.

[For a while. That might be... acceptable. He can't fathom the idea of never having his sense of taste returned - Sebastian obsesses over how things taste, after all. Losing that completely for the rest of his life would be... hateful.

Hrm.]

May I think it over? I will say it sounds... reasonable enough.

[reformedsinner]

Of course. Let me know when you've made a decision.

[untiltheend]

Thank you. I shall not keep you waiting long.
