Yep, so it's as I thought — you mean, can he sense the miner as living.
Okay, so here's what happens, with regard to how Arche can feel it: the miner's life and the... REDACTED undisclosed possessive entity which might be obvious to you guys already, based on what Sizhui and Eleven learned from the culled miners are fused when the miners are possessed to become part of Unhalad's faction. The 'unthawing' is that fusion as it begins to gently unwind. The human miner cannot sustain life at any point without the fueling possession. The mirror will be severing that fusion much more abruptly, killing the miner because it's stripping away the possessive element. What Arche can further feel, if you want, is that there is now a secondary wannabe possessive element that was nipping at the heels of the established one, which is what triggered the original unthawing.
Unfortunately, the miner will never register as purely living, though, if you want — up to you if you'd like to have Arche register some elements of former life just as it disappears, when the fusion breaks. But it wouldn't be classical living, if that makes sense. It would still be very much a perverted sense of living, and it would be extinguished within seconds.
