death talk continues/likely throughout

Not at all! Surviving meant I had to suffer the pain for a long time. It was terrible!

[More incredibly normal and typical reactions from Osamu Dazai.]

Anyway, you're missing the point of what I'm asking. I know that death is inevitable after losing 0.53 gallons of blood or after the destruction of a vital organ. The question isn't whether you would've died from your wounds, which any reasonable person can be certain of depending on the circumstances, but how you know you actually died. Even recorded accounts of patients resuscitated after clinical death vary in terms of the subjective experience of the individual, after all. Yet, there's an inevitable process of loss of consciousness that occurs between the cessation of your heart and reaching a state of irreversible brain death, the length of which is debated by neuroscientists.

[This is the man you need to work with for a whole mission, I'm so sorry Vincent.]

Can you guarantee you were disrupted from your universe after the latter point? Or did you simply pass out from the second blow, in a situation where no resuscitation could've realistically occurred?

[He does have a genuine reason for being pedantic about this, at least. Not that he's going to be upfront about it.]
