Illustration for Two Hundredweight, from the adult visual novel The Weighing

The schedule does not ask for eleven thousand pounds of money. It asks for a sum in weight, and the sum is two hundredweight.

MioneTwo hundred pounds of a person. Not limbs. Not blood. Weight. The scale takes weight and the body gives it up somewhere it can afford to lose.

CorvinaIt does not take it off the body. It takes it out of the body. You will be the same shape at midnight and you will not be able to stand up.

Two hundred pounds between two volunteers is a hundred each, and a hundred pounds of anything is a great deal to give away and be alive afterwards.
