Title: n°4 Hands that Grasp Life
Guy: You are quite lucky, sir.
That is a top-shelf item we just received from India this very morning.
One does not come across such an item very often.
Person: Good. Then I should be able to make it in time.
Shopkeep, I'll just leave the money here.
Guy: Kishishishishishih...
Making a full payment on such a high-priced drug...
Just who exactly are you, Monsieur?

Page 114-115:
Guy: ...Hmph.
For your sake, I had better not give my name.
Now, let's hurry to Paris!!!
Title: n°4 Hands that Grasp Life

Page 116:
Helen: Ow!!
Ah
AH
It huuuuuurts!!!!

Page 117:
Hel: aA... AUUUAAAAAaaaAAAAhhhhh...!!!!
I can't take it anymoooore! Kill meeeee...!!!
Char: Everyone, please take firm hold of the Madame's limbs!!!
Guy: Sir!!!
Henri: Hélène has a baby in her belly...?!!
And they're going to cut her belly to take it out...?!!
Char: Don't forget the gag.
It's possible she could bite her tongue off in all the intense pain!!!

Page 118-119:
Char: I will now perform the surgery
of the Cesarean section----!!!

Page 120:
Chares: Henri,
please stand back.
Henri: I-I'm scared...
Is Hélène gonna die......?!!
Narr: Until chloroform was invented in the mid 19th-Century as an anaesthetic,
surgical procedures of the era were a battle with "pain".
If a Caesarian section was performed, the mother would die of the unbearable pain.
And even if they did endure the pain, because of the suturing techniques for stopping blood in that era were very basic,
in most cases the patient died as a result of blood loss and infection from ruptured sutures.

Page 121:
Char: Has that item arrived?
Guy: No.
Char: It cannot be postponed another minute.
If I hesitate now, the mother, not to mention the baby, suffocate and die before long.
I must act...
I'm making
the first incision-----...
Someone: !?

Page 122:
Guy: I've just arrived, Big Brother!!!
Box: Louis-Charles-Martin Sanson
Executioner of Tours and Auxerre
The 2nd Son of the Sanson Family
Brother to Charles born of a different mother
Charles: You made it...?!
Louis!!!!

Page 123:
Guy: I obtained the "datura" you requested, Big Brother!!!
With this, you should be able to free any patient of their pain!!!
Char: So that is the datura I've heard rumors about...!!!
Guy: Oo...
Lou: Here, Madame. Please drink this.
This will put you into a deep sleep. And when you awaken, this will all be over.
Hel: No, I don't want to drink it!!!
Do you want me to die along with the child?!!!!

Page 124:
Hel: ...?!!
Char: Madame, please accept your destiny.
Your death will not be decided by your will.

Page 125:
Char: Every muscle in her body has relaxed.
She's completely lost consciousness even if her eyes are open...!!!
So this is the effect of Datura...?
Guy: Ooh...
Henri: Hélène isn't dead, right, Uncle?
Louis: Don't worry. She's just sleeping.

Page 126:
Narr: Datura
(Datura stramonium)
A pain-relief drug that had just started to circulate in Europe around this time.
The "scopolamine " it contains suppresses the central nerve system which auses one to be unable to feel pain. It can also suppress the vagus nerve, and its anticholinergic properties make pupils expand.
In Japan, a doctor named Hanaoka Seishuu made use of this plant in 1804 which famously became called the first to use general anestheisa which was in a surgery to remove a breast cancer tumor.
Char: Now then, there's no time.
We must hurry, Louis.
Lou: You must be excited, Big Brother...!!!
There's a good chance you're the first surgeon in the world to use "Datura".
And it must be thrilling to know that it's being done in the mansion of an executioner so detested by the populace.
Char: You really never change, Louis.

Page 127:
Charles: You used to stand next to me like this all the time as a child and encourage me in medical practice...
in front of father......
Louis, I never feel more reassured than when you're here.
Okay, now let's save the lives of this mother and child together!
Louis: Oui, Big Brother!!!
With the wisdom and techniques of the Sansons, we will make the impossible possible!!!

Page 128:
Char: I am now making the first incision in the center of the abdomen.
I will carefully cut open fat and muscle...
So young. There's no adhesiveness on the peritonea.
Okay, we've reached the uterus...!!!

Page 129:
Char: In order to keep the child inside her womb unharmed, let's cut out way in with our fingers!!!
Once we've confirmed the direction the face is pointed, pull it out all at once with the forceps!!!
Louis: Oui, Big Brother!!!

Page 130:
Henri: What a powerful, cool sight to see----...
Father, Uncle, right now, I'm proud I have the same Sanson blood running through my veins as the two of you!!!!

Page 131:
Hel: Uuu...
Guy: You, virgin daughter of poor aristocrats...!!!
Your father wanted the wealth of the bourgeoisie,
so he sold you to me!!!
How does that feel? To know that your beautiful body is going to be filled with the dirty sperm of a commoner...!!!

Page 132:
Helen: Stop...
I'm scared!!!
I don't want to give birth to a child like this! Someone, help...!!!
Char: It's one of the side effects of the Datura, hallucination...!!!
Hold her down tight...!!!

Page 133:
Louis: He stopped the spasms brought on by her hallucinations...!!!
Char: Henri, please hold on to the Madame's hand until the surgery is over.
I'm counting on you!!!
Henri: Oui, Father!!!

Page 134:
Char: I can see the head.
Let's pull it out with forceps!!!

Page 135:
Char: Yes!!
Now we will focus exclusively on saving the mother's life!!!
We must quickly and precisely suture the incisions!
The real battle starts here!!!
Louis: Big Brother, I have the needle ready for you!!
Charles: No,
you do it.
Louis: Huh?

Page 136:
Baptiste: You did well, Louis.
That was a brilliant delivery and a swift suturing.
Louis: Thank you very much, Father.
Bap: Now, Louis, let us move to amputation and suturing!!
Charles: ...Ever since we were children, you always had more talent for medical practice than your older brother.
The Madame's life is in your hands!!!
Louis: You can leave it to me,
Big Brother!!!

Page 137:
[And there's some nice scenery]

Page 138:
Char: Both the mother and child are progressing nicely.
Both are sleeping well.
If their conditions continue to improve this smoothly, they will be able to exit this mansion in under a week.
My dear brother, Louis, this success
could not have been possible if not for your efforts.
You have my utmost gratitude.
Louis: We Sansons are the most famous family even among all executioners.
If the Monsieur de Paris gives an order, I will rush to his side on a moment's notice, Big Brother.

Page 139:
Char: Merci, Henri, you did well.
You are an fine member of the Sanson Family as well.
Henri: Thank you, Father!!!
I've made up my mind!! I'm definitely going to follow in the footsteps of my father and uncle
and become a great executioner!!!
Char: Now it seems we will be able to perform the execution we were ordered to.
Louis: I'll stay until then and help out as well.
Henri: Huh?

Page 140:
Charles: For the crime of killing her husband,
in one week, Hélène Villeneuve's execution by hanging will be performed as planned at the Place de Grève.
Henri: Whaaa...?
