texture · congenital / lifelong

• When: Congenital / lifelong.
• What: Mario's withered, bradyauxetic arms curl before his thorax in magiscule S's (n.115: Volkmann's-contracture-like; the brady- lexicon — bradylexia, bradyphrenia, nocturnal bradypnea needing four pillows, bradypedestrianism, bradykinesia), usable for rudimentary eating, kicking doors, a "pretend lens-frame," and short tosses. The arms are near-pain-proof and were pinched, punctured, singed, and compressed in a basement vise by Orin "without effect or complaint."
