* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Surprisingly, there ''are'' some Prometheans who practice Centimani, yet still follow the Pilgrimage; they reason that humans are the only creatures with the potential to become monsters, and as such embracing part of your monstrosity is a progress toward becoming human.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Second edition Centimani cannot produce the Vitriol themselves since they have stepped away from the Pilgrimage that allows them to regain it. The only way they can get more is the practice of ''lacuna'', where they sink their hands into a restrained and unwilling victim's chest to physically steal the substance to consume themselves. The rape metaphors are strong for a reason. Even worse, since Vitriol is the very material that makes up a Promethean's memories, performing this is also a form of MindRape; although the reaper doesn't keep the memories for themselves, their victim still loses part of their experiences on the Pilgrimage.
