I'm not making any progress with Ron's conversation in terms of why exactly he was reanimated, but I do have some more context:


 * Our undead Ron was captured and imprisoned; Elluka is taken there, either by the mayor (of Re Tasan?) or someone else and is shown the "white man".


 * Platonic confirms it was what attacked her in the mansion (yeah, there are apparently a few scenes devoted to her encounters in there).


 * Elluka asks the mayor to open the cage and Elluka places an arm to his forehead (bright magic lights!) and demands he speaks so he can provide the necessary exposition.


 * Re Tasan definitely matches the description of Retasan; a walled city in the northerwest area of the Conchita territory. I think there's no doubt now that they're one and the same.


 * Carlos does drink the poison and dies in front of Banica; she seems largely unaffected while he quickly coughs up blood and dies (although he had an awful long time to share a dramatic moment with her).


 * The narrator's says Will Jaques discusses AB-CIR and "he" being a "she" if she had to choose and something about and how/why the mage was working with Platonic (was Platonic his source?).


 * The Demon of Gluttony and Banica apparently haven't really spoken since she made her contract; it only starts speaking because Banica's run out of food to eat since she ate Arte and Pollo. (Something comes up about Banica asking if they were its minions and it explaining them being reincarnations of H&G).


 * I can roughly divide the book:


 * 1) Apertif = Prologue with our narrator starting the story about our titular Evil Food Eater Conchtia.


 * 1) Hors D'oeuvre = Everything from Muzuri, Meguru, and the pig to Muzuri being stripped of his territory by Juno.


 * 1) Soup = Carlos and Banica's engagement and childhood together.


 * 1) Poisson = Banica and Ron til she makes her demon contract.


 * 1) Sorbet = Platonic getting the mission for the Glass, failing the mission for the Glass, and reporting about her failure for the Glass.


 * 1) Viande = Carlos infiltrating the mansion, serving in it, getting discovered by Banica, having a romance, his murder-suicide attempt, and her eating him.


 * 1) Dessert = Pretty much everything that happened to Platonic after her failure, Elluka dragging her around, Banica eating Arte and Pollo, the baby eating scene, Elluka infiltrating the mansion, the aftermath of everything, and the waiter getting arrested.


 * 1) Digestif = Banica musing to herself while in Gallerian's possession.
