When Isiah disposed of those corpses in the river he got back to his place immediately, he was afraid that he might be surrounded by hellhounds in a short amount of time, so he returned to his place after he got some grass and a few rotten fruits in the world beyond.
Something inside of him changed and the scary part was that he knew that, yet he chose not to admit it.
Yes, the grass was not tasty, yes, those rotten fruits were disgusting but what he tried to hide more than anything was that he was craving for something different .
That urge came to life after he killed the first armored knight, yet all he thought about was that maybe his rage at the moment got mixed with that feeling, but after today he knew that something was wrong with him .
He would think about food when he is in the middle of death and life situations, nobody yet he was thinking about that .
