But really, it’s not like that. It’s just that The Gift eliminates both the need for speech and the speech center of the brain leaving enough neurons to operate the vocal chords, but only in a haphazard and entirely involuntary fashion. Facial muscles are also affected, especially those controlling the lips and jaw causing them to slacken. Gasses produced by a gradually rotting mass of internal organs are sometimes expelled through perpetually loose jaw and lips thus producing a “BBbbwwaaaahhh” sound. To terrified hordes of un-awakened this is often interpreted as “BBBRRAAAAIIINNNNS”. I can assure you, we are not going to eat your brains, that is the last thing we want to do.
