I don't know what else could've happened to Carmel, so I'm going with unwitting cannibalism for the time being. I think it's safe to say that Linlin had a lot of bad factors that turned her into her present self, but it's possible that it was the head chef guy's Pirate past that ultimately made her take that career option, even if he wasn't actively manipulating her. Perhaps we'll see what happens to Carmel if by some chance that Pudding uses her powers on the head chef guy. If that doesn't break Linlin's spirit, nothing will.
