Kurumi watched the heart sort of bob in the water and tried not to wrinkle her nose too much. It wasn't like she hadn't seen an animal heart before, she had actually eaten chicken heart before and not known that was what it was until AFTER so this really wasn't that different. Perhaps it was the physical act of removing it from the creature that was making her feel....guilty?

Tugging on her gloves again nervously, Kurumi carefully removed the gills and set them in the water beside the heart. She tried not to linger there for too long since...the water was certainly not clear anymore and had taken on a very obvious red hue.

She was not going to faint in this lesson. NOT going to happen.

Closing her eyes as she reached into the dish for the heart, Kurumi felt around for a few moments until she found it and then held it over the harvesting tray and peek out ever so slightly from behind her still partly closed eyelids. Oh good, she had grabbed the heart and not the gills. Setting it down, and not waiting to see it disappear, Kurumi returned her attention to the chest cavity of the plimpy and tried not to look too freaked out by the next step.

The spine. The whole spine.

Between all the squishing and snapping that was going on as she removed the spine, Kurumi honestly was surprised that she hadn't fainted...or used one of the buckets...or had more of a reaction to all this...stuff. Once she felt the spine break free from everything, she slowly removed it and tried not to look at it for too long.

Ew. Just ew....
