I always wondered why Lan Fan decided to cut the arm off at the shoulder to trick Bradley. My only guess is that she wanted the dog to flee in another direction and lead a blood trail that would be long enough to let them escape. With only the blood in the severed limb, a hand or elbow would probably not have enough blood in it to leave a trail more than a couple of feet. With the entirety of the arm, it would have given them the several alleyways worth of distance they needed. That being said, she took a massive risk and almost got herself killed in the process.
That was my interpretation as well, she definitely wanted it to be as much blood as possible to be convincing. I do wonder, in a world where fully functioning prosthetics exist, if it is actually beneficial to lose a limb at a specific spot or not 🤔 idk if the show touches on it or if it really matters, but it's interesting to me
@@princekitsune At least as far as real life prosthetics go, it tend to be easier to replace limbs below joints, rather than having to attach directly to (or replace) natural joints in the body. As a rule of thumb, things get more complex when you need to craft and connect more moving parts.
