Maggie My

Maggie

Cited as precedent for one person living inside another, though she inhabits Chris's brain rather than an organ.

Story so far

When Carl realizes Epitome Tagg is living inside Louis, his first reaction is that this is the same thing as Chris and Maggie My. Donut suggests Carl could take a potion, reach in and pull Tagg out the way he did before.

Mordecai says maybe, but draws the crucial distinction: Maggie is inside Chris's brain, whereas Tagg isn't in Louis's heart — he is Louis's heart. Katia offers Shi Maria inside Carl as the closer analogy.
