JOCELYN: Oh no! Tosa!
TOSA: See, this is why I wanted to stay in the shadows. Otherwise you get a look.
JOCELYN: What happened to you?
TOSA: You know how quicksilver becomes violent if you’re not careful?
JOCELYN: …
TOSA: It’s fine.
JOCELYN: It’s not fine. I’ll–I’ll make some medicine. I have medicine.
TOSA: If you’re going to suggest vitae, don’t. I’m mostly dead already. Shards of transmutation engine tiles have been in my wounds for the last five years.
TOSA: Every month or so, I change the filaments in the bandages. They don’t heal or harm me, but they make my body forget that it is dying, and the wounds forget my body. I’m to the point where I’m having to reuse old ones, but I should have a few more years left before my body can no longer ignore its torso being…like this.
JOCELYN: Don’t reuse old ones. Please, let me help you.

JOCELYN: Doesn’t that feel so much better?
TOSA: I don’t feel anything at all, which is the best I can hope for.
JOCELYN: Good. There’s a trick to handling quicksilver more safely, if you want to know…
TOSA: I don’t. I quit alchemical engineering about five years ago, less one day.
(If you downloaded the puzzle within the first few minutes of release, please download it again; we changed the filename and the website won't know you're solving Immortal Filament if it's not this filename below. If you've already made a solution and don't want to recreate it, you can merge it with a blank solution for the new filename and it should work.)
