The animals in Doleful Creatures phase in and out of awareness – awareness that they are creations of God and on a journey to become gods themselves. Those who’ve seen traumatic events are especially prone to phasing, and some – like Aloysius – have almost stopped phasing completely, becoming more animal-like; able to communicate with others but bereft of any knowledge of their origins or their potential.
When they remember their origin and potential, they’re relatively at peace, albeit a bit anxious about the ending of the Sixth Day, when they’ll all lose their awareness and become true animals for a time.
This is not about them in a stage where they await to become human – they’re simply growing in intelligence, alongside humans once the Sixth Day ends.
