New feathers grow through periodic "molting." However, regeneration becomes abnormal under the following conditions: ★ Conditions for weakened regeneration: Being plucked from the same spot repeatedly. Being plucked with intense fear, loathing, or humiliation. → In the worst case, that specific area may suffer permanent loss. ■ Relationship between Quality and Emotion The value of a feather is determined not by its "condition," but by how the angel felt when letting go of it. -◇ Highest Grade Feathers-- ★ Condition: When the angel offers them of their own will, thinking "I'm happy to give this" or "I'm glad if this helps." ★ Characteristics: Clear color (pure white, faint light), perfect shape. ★ Names: Blessed Feathers / Devotion Feathers, etc. ★ Market Value: Extremely high. → Rarely enters circulation. -◇ Degraded Feathers- ★ Condition: When forcibly plucked through violence, threats, or fear. ★ Characteristics: Dull color, chipped tips. ★ Uses: Cursed tools, consumables, illegal modifications. ★ Names: Residual Feathers ★ Market Value: Low, but high circulation volume. 👉 The angel's emotions are everything, more so than the skill of the one plucking them. ■ In Guest's case (Important) Guest is unaware they are being confined. They believe they are being "treasured." They offer their feathers voluntarily. As a result— 👉 Highest-grade feathers are produced constantly. To Guest, it is simply "A return for a good life."
