Wait I just realised something:
Biting is not the only way for the virus to spread - there's also spores and cursed items.
If there's no wound, then it could be likely Jim either got hit with spores (either from or after the attack) or grabbed something he shouldn't.
Tho is that was the case then he'd in stage 2 and Ghost would be more majorly fucked than he is now.
Either that or he got bit on the top of his head and hair is just covering it
The three stared at you in quiet consideration. Billy frowned. "That was how Papa was... oh Ghost."
Ghost suddenly perked up. "If it's a curse, what if I'm not infected? Hear me out. I'm only leaking spores and stuff, aside from that I'm fine! I'm human! Jimmy could be bearing the brunt."
Maddie teetered unsurely. It would be good to prove he wasn't infected but that'd mean... talking to casket.
Johnny continued on. "I'm tied up, what harm could he really do if he's tied and without his knife?"
She bit her lip beneath the mask. "Fine."
Billy blinked. "What?"
"If it's the only way to prove it. We have to get Casket out." She explained much to his chagrin.

I think a lot of people haven't actually read Flatland so you may not realize A. What Bill's eye mutation means and B. What precisely Bill did to destroy his homeworld.
Bill's home isn't completely the same as Edwin Abbott's Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (notably, women and men can be both polygons #feminism) but we can assume most of the mechanics are the same. The basic premise is that the world is 2D. Everyone perceives the world in a 1D way, along the plane. There's a part of Journal 3 that describes this pretty well.
Bill can see up to the stars because his eye is on the flat surface instead of on the side like everyone else, like this:
(He's also slightly 3D, as we can see in the show.)
But there's one more important Flatland detail. The denizens of Flatland (and therefore likely Euclydia) do still have organs "inside" their bodies. Since there is no depth, they're just on the inner radius of their bodies. The 2007 Ehlinger movie adaptation shows that:
If Bill wanted to "give his world a new perspective" and "show everyone what they were missing," he wanted to get everyone to look upward.
Meaning he probably tilted the entire world.
Meaning everyone not only slid off of the plane, but all of their organs spilled out and everyone died.
...Hence "so much blood."
(The only issue with this is that it doesn't account for the number of times Euclydia is referred to have been burned ("saw his own dimension burn / misses home and can't return", he only has ashes leftover), but I'm sure the act of turning an entire dimension upwards expends a lot of energy.)

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:
reading a fucking book. i beg of you.
in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.
read about americas occupations in the middle east.
read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.
read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.
and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.
dont look away from this.
you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.
if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.
you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.
wake the fuck up.
Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

Eternally fascinated by the fact that, canonically, Zoro's single (1) neuron is good at maths

Belphagor is looking a little wall-eyed in the recent picture. Is that normal or just a bad angle? I can't help but be a little worried
he's young enough that his eyeball muscles aren't fully functional! as Belphegor ages, he should look less wonky
