It seems like the kind of thing Remilia the Elder might have turned her skills towards in time, had things gone differently, and it felt like a very bitter irony when I first thought of that. Of course, that wouldn't just butterfly away the chain of events leading here, the metaphor would need something heavier, like a serval. (Or a Serval.)
Oh, and the process would have to go into mass production outside her control to get paparazzi, because I'm sure she'd have the taste to refuse to sell to them otherwise.
-IA.
(I am not sure what "eating their cameras" means in this context.)
