There's at least one species of green worms where I'm from. I don't think they live in America, but considering America also isn't supposed to have dogs with extra legs or giant fungal pigeons, I wouldn't be surprised to find one.
... Maybe I oughta ask him sometime. I haven't been a great friend to anyone lately. You know, with. Checking up on 'em and junk. Maybe that's why everyone hates me now.
[ Megumi has hated people, and he's also told people he hates them when his heart isn't actually in it, and the main thing he's taken out of the experience is: really hating someone is hard work, and it's honestly something most people aren't prepared to actually invest the emotional energy into. ]
I don't know for sure, because I can't read minds. But I've seen a lot of negative emotions. [ Comes with the territory, when you hunt curses. ] And...I think a lot of people mistake other things for hate. Anger, frustration. Things that don't last as long, or run as deep.
I've made that mistake myself, even. And then I learned the hard way that I wasn't feeling hate at all.
[ To be okay with that, he means. He's spent nearly two years running himself ragged over the possibility that Tsumiki might still think he meant it, when he said he hated her. He can't stand the thought of leaving things badly like that between them.
Not that he could do anything to change it, in the end. ]

You know, Ivan is a big killer lug of a guy. I bet he could bait just about anything out of their little hidey-holes and keep the food source going.

[ Things he has not discussed with Ivan: the metabolic needs of a twenty foot centipede body. There's a thought experiment for you... ]

[ now thinking about it, it must be really rough on her bug friend to find food when things are so scarce already... ]

[ He's not sure Ivan would complain too obviously, though, even if he were. ]
