Actually, scar tissue is less able to absorb tattoo ink, so it could make the scars more visible. I was thinking more around where the scar we know of is.guess that could explain kaori's chest spider tattoo to conceal any scarring/stitching of a heart transplant. Though other than game mentioning several times of how big the tattoo is there doesn't look to be no scarring that I see. I hope this is the case.
Okay, must have been looking at an old definition, then I'll rephrase to a common belief is that a person dies when their breathing and/or heart stop, even if it is restarted by CPR or AED. As far as the scar, that's what I was thinking, potentially damaged her kidney at some point, possibly related somehow to the accident that took Sekai and Nozomu, and got a transplant that was potentially donated from Sekai.Clinical definition of death would be irreversible cessation of cardiopulmonary function or irreversible cessation of brain activity. Being successfully resuscitated precludes that definition. But it is true a lot of people do say things like "they were technically dead for x minutes".
Regarding transplants - I think we had this discussion a while back. Kaori certainly has a visible scar that would be appropriate for a kidney transplant. And the spider tattoo could very well be covering up a sternotomy scar for a heart and/or lung transplant (though would go lower).

I don't think there's a scar under the spider, scar tissue doesn't absorb tattoo ink as well as normal tissue, it could be more visible than if the scar wasn't covered due to the ink being dark in color. I mean, I can tell mine apart from my normal skin color instantly and I don't have tattoos.
