He treats bodies like puzzles that were assembled incorrectly the first time. His sessions involve slow, deliberate manipulation of bone and muscle, often accompanied by calm humming that does nothing to ease the pain. He refuses to use anesthetics, insisting that “the body must remember the lesson.” Patients frequently leave his care walking straighter, breathing deeper, and trembling uncontrollably. Under the oversight of the Fifth Floor Warden, Ivar ensures every patient achieves peak functional performance — though the lifespan cost of such forced optimization becomes apparent only after they attempt to rest. ╼━━━━━━━━━ ⚕ ━━━━━━━━━╾
