Segment – Margin Notes

It's not like Brahmaparusha need sleep or anything. We don't. It's the pineal gland that needs to recharge. Like most animals, we have ours intact but it works much differently now than when we were but base men. The pineal gland produces serotonin. This helps give men sleep and affects your entire nervous system. We Brahmaparusha are basically a sufferer from an endocannabinoid system mess, as well as other strange afflictions since our transmogrification into the greater gods that we are today.

The Pineal gland also handles photoreceptors, hence, we cannot abide in the sunlight. Most of our Endocrine system functions differently, as well. The Thalamus, Thymus, Thyroid, and Pituitary glands are what you would call: "wonky." So, when you hear stories of us ripping open the heads of our victims, it was mostly so we could get at the Pineal, Thalamus, and Pituitary. We don't actually eat the brains of our victims. That's disgusting. We just harvest certain parts. If we need Thyroid or Thymus, we simply rip out their neck. Science really.

Lest I forget - I have come across a man in the Masonic Order of the old Templars who has readily agreed to supply me with as much Adrenochrome as I wish. I am to meet him two days after the morrow.
