So. Did we ever figure out how to prevent losing limbs/organs like our other selves did?

[As you do.]

whyyyy?

...There are several ways that question can be answered, but I'm fairly sure all answers lead back to "questionable decisions were made by several people, none of whom seemed to doubt those decisions at any point, for some reason."

[Does the fact that it didn't happen in a vacuum make this better or worse.]

[lienhearts]

What did people mess up so bad they decided to annihilate everyone???

I get that humans kind of suck but that's drastic

[manufactured]

It's something of a long story.

What did you end up losing, through curiosity?

[lienhearts]

I have time

Anyway it's just a kidney for me. It won't kill me, but it's not like I want to lose random organs because another me decided to give them up

[Which is a slightly different framing from "sold," but in the end it was... probably? For a good cause?? So he's going to at least make it sound noble and not at all shady.]

Is it something that has yet to happen, then, or something that you suspect already may have?

[lienhearts]

Just gonna ignore the first part, huh

Anyway I'm pretty sure I still have both my kidneys, therefore I'd like to keep them

As most would. I do wish you luck with that much, at least.

As for the first part, the short version is a combination of "horrible god complexes" and "brainwashing children never ends well for anyone, and I've no idea why people continued to try to do it."

[lienhearts]

Sounds like you've got lots of great memories there

[manufactured]

Positively delightful, really.

[lienhearts]

Does it, like...

Mess with you? Now? Remembering shit like that

[Like granted, remembering the whole process of getting a kidney removed as a child has definitely fucked with him a bit here, but.]

[manufactured]

...It does, admittedly. I'd honestly be more concerned if it didn't, at this point.

[lienhearts]

In the off chance I remember other traumatic shit

Any tips?
