    I have a kidney transplant. New fear unlocked.

    Bonus trivia: They don’t take out the old kidneys, they just keep on adding new ones. I have 4 kidneys right now.

      Right now? Does that mean you’re planning on getting me more in the future, how many do you have to get before you gain superpowers?

        I will probably need another transplant in about 5 years. I’ll let you know if I’ve gained any powers then!
