Player: Joysweeper Character: Julien/Yuuya Reason for Echo: Contact with a cave nasty What is returned: A pigeon heart. ...Scaled up to fit his body, so he doesn't die. And I guess relevant vein and artery alterations so different pressures and so on don't cause complicated medical issues. Still pumping human blood, though.
Proportionally a pigeon's heart is more than twice the mass of a human's, more muscular, designed somewhat differently. It's more efficient, pumping more blood per beat, and it's slower at a resting rate, but better at beating faster for a long period of time.
