Crocodile Poisoned Hook Venom-In-The-Wound Kill-Mode

Status: pending · Technique: chekhov-explicit, prop-tell

The seed

The payoff

(Forward-canon — the poison wound becomes the crisis that drives the blood/water cure-logic to its limit.)

Why this matters

The on-page articulation (Ch. 0206) of the kill-mode that the seed note Crocodile Poison Hook Concealed Kill-Weapon Reveal (Ch. 0204/0205) set up: the long-iconic gold hook (on-page since Ch. 0155) is re-keyed as a Chekhov’s-gun venom-delivery the instant lethal stakes are declared. Thematic precedent: Gin Poisoned By His Own Captain’s Weapon and Krieg Poison Gas MH5 (East Blue poison-weapon grammar).
