So, did she just never consume a sentint lifeform before him or what?

Kinda weird that she didn't have this reaction with a single other living being in the entire galaxies she has gone through.

Come for one, come for all.

I take the approach in this case that within many, many, many galaxies, worlds, and alternate universes that there is a lot of dead space, and whatever isn't dead is indeed not sentient. Whether primordial and within the infancy of life, Sheelub has not encountered complex life high enough on the latter to truly think like the curiosity and paradox that is humanity. Even Sheelub herself had no linguistics or higher motivations herself outside consuming and growing.

Let's head back to page 3. "I now understand the human condition and can see your flesh wastes consciousness. I can make greater use of it, now that I possess it."

There's a lot of things we have every right to say that is weird about this story, but at the end of the day for all we know we are the only life out there, and if there indeed is, even an infinite universe does not conclude one will discover life so readily and easily, let alone complex life. The only thing that makes us, us. (I so believe there's life out there by the by.)
