#I'm sorry Emmrich I'm sure this is rude... But it's for science

Ok so I turned up the brightness a lot and took a peek

Those ribs on the inside are definitely not bone. Seems to be just armor around the bone—which makes sense. But... Ribs don't sit like that... So now I'm thinking—especially since they are wider now— that during the process they... "bloomed" his ribs out? There are plenty of skeletons and bodies that have been autopsied/processed normally by Mourn Watch standards so... WHY

Like yes, it looks cool and I guess it was done post-mortem otherwise OW... But also...

Is it just to look cool? I mean it's awful armor if you think about it. Gold isn't very great defensively wise.

The "spine" part is sitting in the middle, so it's not replacing his bone or anything that I can see. I rather like that headcanon though.

Also this is a recolor mod—it's not too far off vanilla but obviously need to look again without the mod enabled—But I was going off of texture and shape rather than color anyway.
