Keiko's father's body had been in a vegetative state for a whole year. After losing the coordination and oversight of the brain, although the brainstem was still functioning, maintaining the basic physiological functions, the body itself and various organs had experienced different degrees of atrophy and weakness.
His limbs had not exercised in a year, and both muscles and nerves had atrophied to various extents. Although not severe, even if cured, it would require a considerable amount of time to exercise and recover.
The function of his internal organs was already disordered; some organs' functions were overactive due to lack of restraint, while some had gone idle due to prolonged disuse. Keiko's father's body looked like a factory that had fallen into chaos without a manager, with all the orderly sequences disrupted and sinking into varying degrees of turmoil and internal strife.
