Sinner the seventh: Gojyo

Gluttony is not merely physical; neither is Gojyo. Gluttony is the emptiness of the soul, fiery and self-destructive; while he may seek food and wine and blood and touch – so much touch – his insatiable need is bone-deep, his heart as starved as his skin. He skirts the edge of annihilation because danger and passion counter void; without that definition he will collapse into nothingness. In deliberate intensity he can forget her words; taboo child, hated, loveless, worthless. They burn into him, widen that chasm nothing can fill, not even the hunger for destruction and the hunger for love secreted within.
