Health Bar
Katia's drops to one percent the instant she eats the orchid, marking how close the ritual runs to death.
Story so far
When Katia swallows the Orchid of Eileithyia's Grace she is knocked unconscious immediately, and her health falls to one percent with Waiting for the Goddess displayed above her head.
The number is a warning as much as a status: for the next hour Katia is helpless and one point from dead on a floor that Emberus intends to burn, while Donut sits beside her unable to leave and Carl tries to stall a god.
Role
The visible measure of how precarious Katia's orchid coma is.
Relationships
Katia — Reduced to one percent by the orchid.
