Right, but that shouldn't be the case for me. I think I'm perceiving exactly what you do, and it's probably the way you saw your own corpses.
It's...it's nasty bread. There's nobody home.

There's also the fact that we failed to register your possession of something so curious, you seemingly forgot you ever had it, and we even forgot what we were discussing until buzzers intervened.

Okay, I shared the scent with everyone I could. Most of them drew a complete blank, but a few of them began to recall something before it faded again.
Aspergillus was like "Oh! I know that smell! But where's the rest?!"
Fusarium said "Ahhh, I remember getting testing done. I don't remember what."
Candida said "I wanna say there used to be another smell, too. I wanna say it made me really, really hungry."
Acremonium says to me "Wait. I know this. I used to donate...something?"
Cladosporium was all "WAIT! I never got my results back! Oh, jeez!"
Griseofulvin said "yeah, yeah! I went in to donate all the time!"
Mucor said "That's not right. There was a lot more to it. Something tasty. REAL tasty."
Finally, Trichoderma said "Donated, I think, but not much?"
