Talk:Enryu's Thorn/@comment-26484417-20151128150103/@comment-26854521-20151128174135

I assume that it is indeed part of the guardian's body that Enryu cut off and then used to kill the guardian and in the process transfused his own shinsoo into the thorn so it was no longer considered as part of the guardians body and therefore didn't go where the rest of the body went

kind of a parallel to how guardians should have perfect control over the shinsoo on their own floor Enryu even turned a part of the guardian's body into his own, kind of mocking their very existence

(that's all just an assumption though)

one thing to go on here is that the rest of the body seemingly disappeared, as I think nobody would argue that that thorn would be the full body of the guardian and that the rest hasn't been mentioned anywhere

I'm not sure I know how death works inside of the tower, sometimes the body just lies there (Ho and the chicken in the last few chapters) and at the beginning of the 20th floor you can see a body disintegrate after dying similar to the blue light that appeared when Baam entered the first floor (from Rachel's perspective), and the guardian might actually be a different case entirely
