I suppose it's because of stream of consciousness, symbol association.
He's got her memory from the corpse eating, and because he can't forget, her memories just mingle in with his.  There are other moments where he slips into Thecla mode, but it doesn't usually screw with the subject/object structure of the sentence.

As a narrative device, it's obviously problematic, but tasty.
