Yes, I've already explained that, but what that lorelet doesn't understand is that humans have two souls in them, with the white soul fading and the dark soul being left behind because it has the aspect of immortality. All other souls do not have this, which is why they all fade. You know how Gwyn gifted shards of his lord soul to Seath and the Four Kings? Basically all humans have been gifted shards of the dark soul by the Furtive Pygmy. Eventually, when the fire fades, so to do all others apart from the dark soul. This is what's left in human body vessels that powers them, nothing but a beast animating on its most primal instincts, the need to feed (hence all the themes of eating when talking about the dark). This is what is labelled as hollowing within the universe of Dark Souls. The people have been tricked into believing that 'hollowing' is a human curse, when it is in fact a gift. Gwyn tries to subvert this by recreating the advent of the first flame to flourish the world with life again(life, death and rebirth), but this recycling can only happen so many times because again, only humans are immortal. All other souls fade to nothing.
