Soul Food

 is a Heartwarming and Drama Canvas Webtoon created by CiciEnixa.

Synopsis
Welcome to Soul Food, the best restaurant in the Afterlife! Sometimes souls enter the Afterlife unable to remember their lifetime. So we at Soul Food bring those memories back to you by making the meals of your past that truly feed your soul.

Fragmented Souls
A fragmented soul is a human soul which cannot recall their memories from when they were alive, usually occuring due to a violent death or having experienced trauma. These souls have a colored mist around them, which has been placed over the "fragmented" parts of the soul as a sort of adhesive. The mist disappears after they remember their life and cause of death. They are sent to soul rehabilitation centers to heal, such as Soul Food and the Dream Palace.

They often appear in confused, and sometimes even violent states, as they are unaware of their surroundings and cannot recall anything.

The mist location on the fragmented soul indicates the point of trauma, and each color has a different meaning:


 * Red for cuts and wounds
 * Purple for extreme impact
 * Blue for lack of oxygen
 * Green for acids, poisons, and some diseases
 * Yellow for fire or electrocution

It is worth nothing that the mist identifies trauma, not death. If an event left a traumatic memory for the person, then it will appear as mist after the person dies, even if it was not their cause of death.

Soul Rehabilitation Centers
Souls are sent to rehabilitation centers to recover their memories, and heal their trauma. Each rehabilitation center has their own unique way of healing the soul, usually based on the interest of the Watcher running the center.

Watchers
They are kind of like angels, and are in fact, based off of Biblically accurate angels. They were "created" alongside humans and were made to watch over them. They are able to shapeshift into various forms at will.

The Obituaries
Also called "Obit". It is a document of a person's life story. Any gaps in the document are filled when a soul recalls their memories.

Soul-linking
Also just referred to as "linking". Sometimes, when souls die together and know each other, they will convince Ezra to send them together. While this is okay for some cases, it is not suitable for every case. However, occasionally Ezra will do it anyway behind Yeqon's back.
