[Kirby] What goes through the head of enemies as they are swallowed alive? What happens to them once they are inside Kirby's body?

So, you can get as grotesque about it as you want, but they’re essentially killed once Kirby swallows them. 

Best case is they get absorbed by Kirby and “help” him by using their powers, this turns them into an unwilling thrall at best. 

But otherwise they are either a) swallowed and digested or b) turned into a star, spit out, and disappears. In either case they cease to be.
