Still workshopping that. My personal position hasn't changed; I think I'm more useful with both arms. Yeah, I could vanish again, but I could also get shot with an arrow the next time the Venatori attack. Or I could catch a particularly nasty flu, who knows. The anchor's a risk, but we all run a lot of those. If the war ends and I'm still here, maybe I'll revisit the question, but that's a lot of bridges to cross.

But for everyone else... I'm not comfortable telling people they can or can't make that decision. It's their own life. But I'm, uh, let's go with "alarmed" that Ness felt she had to make it look like an accident. Doing it that way added risk that I don't think was actually necessary. And her complications also illustrate that removing the arm puts you at risk too, if not the same way that keeping it does.

All that said, I don't want to like, single Ness out. People who knew Wysteria know how breezy she could be about risk, and how hard Tony leaving hit her. But if people are coming along later and reading her notes, they may not have that context.
