He's usually better at remembering to explain things as he goes, given the line of work he's in, but things have been strange at the quarantine, lately, and he hadn't realized he'd forgotten.
"Tokoyami is a species of mushi." Of course, that in itself is its own complicated explanation. He thinks it may be best to start from the beginning, here.
"It might be easier to explain with an analogy." He holds up his arm, and points to the fingers and thumb individually.
"Imagine that the thumb of your hand represents plant life, and the four fingers represent animal life." He points to the middle finger, then. "Humans would be here, at the farthest point."
Then, the thumb traces back down his palm, all the way to the wrist.
"Fungi and microorganisms would be here, where the various forms of life begin to meld together. But there is an even more fundamental form of life--"
And then, the thumb traces back even further, up past the arm and the shoulder...all the way to the heart.
"--Mushi. Close to life itself, in its purest form."
