thats really interesting and scary. if theyre going the medically sound route, then that might be the reason jeonjapha (?spelling?) is in a wheelchair and has taken an indefinite break from streaming
I thought about it too. They seem to have the same ability to concentrate to the max and fuse with the machine. It seems that girl already got the burn of it
I love how we all were like medically this make 0 sense but ignored it cause monkey brain said: Good book.
For now, the doctor is monitoring both of their conditions while figuring out a treatment plan via the VR capsule. Spoiler down below.

Technically, the doctor currently has a drug that can temporarily allow their brain to connect to their arm/legs. However, the aftereffects are dangerous as using it too much will cause irreparable damage. Jeonjapa knows about the drug and the risks since she's been seen by the doctor for years. Now, she only has a few more chances to use the drug.
There is also a VR capsule company that started a new line of customizable capsules, and they teamed up with Almond and I think the doctor to research his brain damage and abilities in order to create a capsule that will relieve the strain on his body and brain. He also starts playing games with characters that don't always use both arms in a strenuous way.
Not premed student in me trying to understand his sickness lmao . So essentially how does it work ? Normally to move, your brain sends signal to your nerves to move muscles, it’s really rapid and for repeated motions build by habit, you create a route. That’s a build reflex (contrary to innate). For our mc here, his brain knows the route, it still exist but unfortunately the nerves are damaged, like a barrage to the water flow, it still passes, hence why he can move, but the NT (the molecule used to pass information from nerve to nerve) is not flowing fluidly, hence the tremors. Resulting in a loss of mobility, you can retrain yourself, make your brain create new routes with other nerves (that’s reeducation) but for an athlete you won’t quite be the same as before. Our mc couldn’t keep his hands steady enough it seems.
How does it work in the game ? Normally he should’ve lost his mobility as well in the game, but the reflex is deeply ingrained in his body that, although the usual route is flawed, the brain knows, he knows what muscle is supposed to move and how it should. So it moves the body through overcompensation, like left brain doing the work of the right brain in cases of damages. Anyways. That’s dangerous more so because it’s the brain. Why? If an organ works overtime it swells, and heats up, if the brain swells more than it should, the intracranial pressure is gonna go up and that’s permanent damage right there, cells are gonna die one after the other and unfortunately for the brain dying cells are really serious cause the command specific things. He could go blind, be paralyzed, half paralyzed or even just be brain dead if not treated on time. So the fact that he still plays is concerning. Cause exercise and good habits help when you stop, not when you go on.
