Fine Healing Potion

Rapid healing administered by Donut to keep Louis alive while his chest is held forcibly open.

Story so far

Edgar's surgical plan calls for Donut to administer a fine healing potion the instant Mordecai opens Louis's chest. The healing works against the surgeons rather than with them: Carl and Tipid have to grunt with effort to keep the ribcage spread, because the constant healing is fighting to close it.

Mordecai finishes the graft with ten seconds left on the rapid healing. When Carl and Tipid let go, the chest snaps closed like a mousetrap and then seals itself shut on its own.

Appearance

A potion administered at the start of surgery, producing continuous rapid healing on a timer.

Role

Keeps Louis alive through an open-chest procedure while actively resisting it.

Relationships

Donut — Administers it.
Louis — Kept alive by it during surgery.
Carl — Fights its closing force to hold the ribcage open.
