merciful death: Adieu by Rammstein
merciful death: Adieu by Rammstein
#1
Sometimes, Doug has used all his healing for the day.
Sometimes, the cause of impending death isn't something he can fix.
Sometimes, the person just doesn't want to prolong things any more.

At times like these, there's Adieu... assuming I'm correct and German is the other language Doug is fluent in besides English and Japanese. It lets the dying person feel no pain or other immediate effects of whatever wounds or illnesses they may have, and be clear-headed enough to give a proper soliloquy if that's what they're into, or handle any last goodbyes or instructions to wrap up their affairs, from when the song is played to when they would have died without further intervention, or when further intervention keeps them from dying, up to when Doug's powers reset for the day. Yes, even if they logically shouldn't be able to function normally, such as being able to speak with no functional lungs, or suffering from physical damage/degradation of the brain, etc. ... It might be a heavily mixed blessing to have it wake someone from a terminal coma only to die anyway, but it's a song of last resort to say goodbyes, by definition.

On the plus side, there's no effect if no one in Doug's range is in terminal condition so it's one he can listen to whenever he likes, for practical purposes, and it's a very good song.
