Being nothlit means being stuck. When you're in a morph for over two hours, you're that way forever. You can't come back. And you might get stuck coming out, between your morph and yourself, if you wait too long.

Either way, the morphing -- to a degree -- alludes to the horror of the zombies and bodies found during the opening of the ag wing. )
