Catchphrases
At various points, usually in response to a question, Kai will state something that the dead cannot or do not do. He begins such statements with "The dead do not..." According to Kai, the dead do not respond to context, the dead are rarely positive about things, the dead do not think about acting, the dead do not have opinions, the dead do not make suggestions (usually), the dead do not eat, the dead do not squeeze and please, the dead cannot be seduced, the dead are easily fooled, and the dead do not poo. However, he does note one thing the dead do want, and that is to be dead. In a variation, while experiencing protoblood failure, he states "The dead are messed up".
Another minor catchphrase is Kai's lengthy speech, repeated several times and with some variations, about the many kinds of people he'd killed: "I killed mothers with their babies. I've killed great philosophers, proud young warriors, and revolutionaries. I've killed the evil, the good, the intelligent, the weak, and the beautiful. I have done this in the service of His Divine Shadow and his predecessors, and I have never once shown any mercy."
