Though for the record, the kitchen scene works well for me and I love it, it's just also upsetting.
*nodnodnod* *hearts*
I just meant that healing ZYL's eyes has no cost in the novel, so the drama writers grabbed the cost from somewhere where it already exists in the novel, and made the Dial a much more prominent 'character'. :D
Oh, yes! Great point -- and yes, so excellently done! *more gift baskets for the writers!!* :D
Doesn't the novel Dial just take a part of one person's lifespan to give it to the other person? Like, the amount of years stays the same, just moved around?
Yes. Oh, wait. The younger person gives half their remaining years to the older person, right? So that doesn't actually help. I was thinking that SW and CSZ are both extremely long-lived, so if they shared their lifespans, everyone gets to be (slightly less) long-lived together. But idk how the Dial would deal with a regular human sharing with someone like CSZ who still looks young after a hundred years in prison... doh!
