Forgets to Eat
 Kieli / int_4133a8bc
comment
Forgets to Eat: Harvey, mostly because he doesn't have to eat. Corporal explains it to Kieli in the first book. Although later he starts to avoid eating all together. And after hearing the conversation between the two men who were disposing the corpses of the failed experiments, who can blame him?

Belief Makes You Stupid
 Kieli / int_79b5677
comment
Belief Makes You Stupid: Kieli believes this, though it's mostly to do with the fact that she grew up in a very religious school as the only person who could see ghosts. Listening to the priests and the nuns drone on about heaven and hell and the soul and having a connection to God, all while totally oblivious to the spirits floating around them, made her a bit... skeptical of their views and intelligence.

Came Back Wrong: The new, experimental undying. Cannibalistic rotting corpses that are unnaturally strong, fast, and fueled by fear and instinct. even the ones like Christopher eventually lose their minds and become simple killing machines. Jochim. Reanimated with an experimental core, which makes his regenerative abilities go out of control. Ew.

Used Future: People left Earth so long ago that its name has been forgotten. It appears they left due to the lack of resources left, and after the 80 year war, the current planet is almost out as well. The world is described as reliant on fossil fuels, heavily polluted, and almost without any plant life.

Who Wants to Live Forever?
 Kieli / int_ea39d156
comment
Who Wants to Live Forever?: A big theme of the series, in the beginning it's basically Harvey waiting around to die, and feeling really irritated at how long it is taking. At the end of volume 4, when Harvey is telling the Corporal about the crack in his core, he actually seems relieved at the idea that he'll (probably) die soon.
