Description
All that is known is that its some kind of drug-induced suspended animation. While presumably the "frozen" bodies age much slower, they still grow hair and nails. The suspension drug is a yellow liquid kept in plastic bags and is used in the creation of Kronole. Patients using suspension drugs require a lengthy "waking up" procedure before they fully recover.
The longest occupant was Nikki Genêt who was frozen for over two years. Waking her up from the suspended animation proved difficult, as she suffered many side effects that appear similar to Kronole withdrawal effects. Jinju Seong also speculated that unfrozen patients may suffer locked-in-syndrome.
Throughout the Series
Every drawers occupants used the suspension drug, which includes, but are not limited to: Nikki Genêt,[1] Pike,[2] Z-Wreck,[2] Strong Boy,[2] Mia Kai-Sheck,[3] Layton,[3] Sam Roche,[4] Anne Roche[4] and Carly Roche.[4]
When Sam Roche discovered that Anne Roche is dead in the Drawers aboard Big Alice. He went to the room and retrieve a bag of suspension drug, later attempting to kill Joseph Wilford.[5]
After being rescued from the Track Scaler, it was discovered that Melanie had kept herself alive for six months without supplies, by using the suspension drug taken from a lab with Drawer supplies on Neckbreaker. Melanie set a timer to wake her up using stimulants, but believed that her body wasn't strong enough to wake up from suspension on her own without the stimulants. After being rescued and receiving treatment from Doctor Pelton, Melanie woke up three days later.[6]
Wilford is later exiled on the Track Scaler with a supply of the suspension drug and stimulants, putting him in the same position that Melanie was in for six months. After being deposited on the track, Wilford places himself into suspension.[7]
