[ he says, quietly. so. it's up to zelgadis, really, if it's hopeless, or not. ]
In certain conditions, it might be different. Under the hands of a different scientist. [ his own hands? is he arrogant enough to think that? lu bixing isn't sure. ] It wouldn't be easy, and there's no guarantee you'd survive it, either.
So... I don't know. Your condition was also caused by magic, and not by science. I wouldn't even begin to know where to start, with that.
It may be closer to science than magic, in some ways. Though executed with magic... the theory, the preparations, are scientific in nature.

... I've spoken to numerous chimera researchers on the subject. I remember one likened his craft to that of drinkmaking. Said that it's simple enough to combine ingredients, as he poured his juice into my ale... but to then remove the juice, and only the juice? It would simply be too difficult, to the point of calling it impossible. I'm sure it was the first nonalcoholic thing he'd had to drink all day... but I often remember that encounter.
[He ruined Zel's drink. And spilled juice on his clothes.]
I know well that any process to unmake a chimera would likely be a difficult one. That it could involve stripping this body down to its core components and remaking it. The pain and the risk... those are things I've prepared myself for a long time ago.
