They would have to be rebuilt from the ground up I imagine. Somehow killing the connection while keeping the brain alive long enough for Panacea or the like to rebuild a body around it. Because as long as the connection is alive and unmodified, then it will likely always warp the physical body to fit.
Hmm.
That might actually be something Taylor can do. Surgically alter the connection itself. She wouldn't be able to alter the Shard unless she was able to cut her way through dimensions to get to it. Possible, she would need to be able to backtrack an active connection through the maze of dimensions to the Shard itself, which means actively perceiving Shard connections, something she can't do yet.
And even if she could do that, I imagine the process wouldn't be perfect. She could only cut away and kill concepts. She can't add or rearrange. Which means any changes she makes to a connection or Shard are one-way only, and can't be undone if she makes a mistake.
Not unless she finds a way to "Kill" her own actions, retroactively healing any damage she does by cutting off the action that did the damage in the first place. And that drifts dangerously close to cutting herself.

Or she can just cut the connection, and have Panacea help deal with the warped body.

Is it possible to kill Leet's Shard's Aggression. If we do that Leet will be able to build without the need to fear for his life.

And in repayment, he builds a tinkertech knife that apes Jack Slash's power.
Take a moment to think about that.

Just a note: MEoDP can also kill the absence of something.
The answer to any question regarding what Taylor can kill (outside the obvious exception of Akasha itself) is 'Can she perceive it as something that can die and/or be killed'
If the answer is Yes, the she can. If No, not yet.

Didn't one character for example kill their own presence, effectively rendering them unable to be perceived by the world around them?
In Tsukihime Tohou Shiki stopped a suicide attempt by poison by stabbing the patient, and he is bad at abstract stuff.

Awesome story, really like it. I really need to watch the rest of KnK, saw the first three movies, but need to go watch the last three still. Not that I can remember much beyond 'purdy eyes'.
Also curious how long it will take Amy to put two and two together. Was kinda surprised she didn't twig at "new cape, burns matching about the time Lung died."
I'm hoping that Saya and Aya are... Relatively okay, and not dead.
I kinda hope she doesn't wear a mask, it's... novel, and a little amusing, and something different, and fits her disdain for the whole cape thing by being a maskless 'not!villain' (and it kind of annoys me when someone adds a mask to a character who's source doesn't wear one). Like ABB members just cover for her or something, or people have a hard time recognising her and connecting the dots. I'm guessing Taylor is going to clean the ABB up, a lot - prostitution, the 'farm', the drugs.

Well, the rule about not adding anything new probably still applies. Healing done this way would probably work similar to how Gáe Buidhe inflicts unhealable wounds.

It's not adding if you're subtracting an absence!
And if they can bend your brain enough, a MEoDP user can totally do that.

Its because she didn't use the appropiate terminology. Instead of stabbing into healthiness she should have tried explaining it as doing surgery to eliminate the illness, that's something even non-parahumans can do with just some decades of studies instead of a cool conceptual extermination ability granted by an xenocidal space whale.

Well, her [ ] personality is omnipotent and, I suspect, is using basically the same ability for that. ( As in, "if you can perceive it, you can affect it" rule is or seems to be generally true for ESP usage in eastern works)It's not adding if you're subtracting an absence!

Taylor's eyes have absolutely nothing to do with Shards, QA only yanked her back from death and is presumably responsible for her physical capabilities.

QA is actually rocking social fu right now. Her physical abillity... who even knows. Maybe something to do with void, maybe something else. But the author has stated that QA is Taylor increased charisma andJack Slash-esque social fu(except slightly weaker and on everyone) and people-sense, and is also very confused at the shenanigans Taylor is oulling right now

"Cut Ties"
"I'm Sorry"
Taylor: ... Okay then.
More seriously, things will have probably butterflied enough so Taylor won't have to surrender herself to the PRT in this story. The give-no-fucks Taylor will probably take a knife to other people's (not her own) social links and become something like Heartbreaker first.

A reverse Heartbreaker. Add in the possibility of popping Grey Boy bubbles, and the PRT should be offering her a nice check once they find out.

She could kill Master effects too, just bundle up those Simurgh bomb threads and saw away. She could go around pushing little old ladies down elevator shafts for fun and get away with it if she could verifiably free entire cities from influence.
Strictly speaking, the Simurgh's been severely hampered just by Taylor's existence. As noted earlier, with a little more practice Taylor can kill "certain futures". Ironically enough, the Simurgh is too good at her job - and if she gives up that accuracy, then by definition she allows the possibility of the plan going wrong.
On a side note, it's been noted that you can't really kill absences, though I don't have a source atm. Part of it is probably the lack of something to see lines on. I won't say it's impossible, but it's probably beyond a human mind, barring a secondary power (like, I dunno, Pure Eyes of Potential Viewing, which is something I just made up on the spot.)

I just rewatched the Epilogue with 3rd personality Shiki, because this discussion has gone back and forth a few times on the whole killing an absence bit, and I didn't see anything really definitive. She does offer to heal Mikiya's eye. She does point out she can arbitrarily affect physical law or replace the world at will, but doesn't because - really what's the point.
Actually, it was kind of disturbing in that talking to Azathoth sort of way... but, yeah, not really possible for a human mind.
