Question #5: Does 049 have a mouth?

Answer: Yes! The only part of his original face that has not fully fused with the keratin mask is his mouth, which allows him to speak. His mask even has a jaw joint, allowing him to eat food if it is offered to him despite not requiring sustenance (the article states that he has a liking for thin crackers, salted pork and hard cheese), though his actual mouth is not visible from the outside. So yes, he does have a mouth, you just can't see it. And he once said that the food helps him think. Talk about food for thought, right?
