When a character is digested with no explicit explanation of them coming back are they gone...forever...?

Yes, maybe...? Maybe in the scenario of that specific art piece that takes place the prey may very well be donezies, but the character themselves, No! They character isn't gone forever until the artist/creator expresses such (or up to viewer's interpretations & personal fantasies)

There's no lore, no logic, no rules, only expression! Someone can put a character in any scenario, well just because. It's artistic expression, the beauty of fantasy, no need for logic.

I notice some vore art pieces involve characters that were in another vore scenario together somewhere else, and even sometimes they'll reference another scenario or their role in such scenarios. This is kinda is what had me want to make this journal post, these characters who've been involved in vore scenarios together in a new scenario without direct explanation, especially if a prey character that seemed very much melted away in a previous scenario is back like nothing happened.

Idk why the characters reoccurring without explanation has been on my mind, I guess I just think about it too much. It's art after all, no need for logic or explanation. I guess the piece is to be interpreted how you may see fit, not just the creator's interpretation, what ever is preferred.
