Could you imagine the confusion if you are used to it though... you've considered this scent to mean dead your whole life. would be kind of like as a human noticing your heart isn't beating, your skin is pale... realizing you are in a coffin and everyone's performing a service... hmm... guess I am dead. course I guess that's kind of the difference is humans aren't so accepting of things. we could be unable to move, realize we are looking from the perspective of our head, which is on the ground 2' away from the rest of our body and our first thought would be, "Hey can you hear me? Hello!!.

Side note: I am furious that I wasn't able to find the name of this syndrome without ChatGPT. Is this a skill issue or are traditional search engines (in this case DuckDuckGo) just completely useless now?
Honestly while I don't like the AI searches, this instance maybe skill issue. Brain fart or smth
that seems to be the consensus, I've accepted it :P
