Hm. I take six weeks between larger hunts, aligned with every third fog. This, for me, is a matter of preference. [He hunts with Cervo, but this is a secret he does not trust Steven with. Word of that must not make it back to Doppio's ears; however unlikely it is, he does not want to risk it.] I will take the occasional soul or two in between hunts for maintenance. [Diavolo raps his fingers against the table, deep in thought.]

Could it be that you are not consuming enough? That may be why the act bothers you so. You are simply ... unused to how it feels. To what it means to take a soul and make it yours.
