Glenn was supposed to examine Skadi's heart condition, but he's thorough, so he laid his hands all over her.
Continuing from last episode, Glenn attended to the collapsed Skadi and insisted on knowing more about her condition from her primary doctor, his mentor, Dr. Cthulhy. She has a soft spot for her former student, which always provokes Sapphee's jealousy.
Cthulhy told Glenn why Skadi's condition was frustrating to treat, because the patient didn't want to be cured. After convincing Kunai to visit Skadi in her bedchamber, Skadi consented to letting Glenn examine her.
Skadi has some kind of a tumor slowly overtaking her circulatory system. In essence, she has two hearts competing against the other. She feels she deserves this slow death sentence because of how the dragons kept the monster-human war going on for so long. She claims the human miasma of the mortal world changed the dragons' bodies when they descended from their land near the heavens. They became wyrms, wyverns, or Eastern style dragons as they lost their limbs and became deformed. Skadi turned into a little girl from her original fire drake form.
And then Glenn did his usual job of "being rough" with female monsters and made Skadi squirm, squeal, and moan as he rubbed her scales and tail. Kunai was about to separate Glenn's head from his body, but Skadi calmed her down.
Cthulhy and Glenn discussed how difficult the surgery would be to remove the tumor, because they would need to reattach the blood vessels to Skadi's heart as soon as they cut them off from the growth. Glenn's two hands and Cthulhy's eight were not enough. Even if they found another surgeon, the main problem was convincing Skadi to undergo the operation. Glenn and Sapphee said they had a solution to both, making Cthulhy so proud of her former students. She even hugged Sapphee!
The obvious candidate to handle stitching with multiple hands was Arahnia. She didn't want to do it because she worried about her company's reputation if the operation failed. Sapphee convinced with a reason out of left-field – she'll get to wear the same nurse's outfit and she can be twins with Sapphee. She's in! Glenn still needs to convince Skadi, so we'll have to see that next episode.
