Isaac will do his best to avoid stress, but now when he does face the pain no longer eats at his weak mortal flesh, the flesh has gone numb.
After his last job, he snagged some pages and got some glimpses of notes and documents to add to his research. With this knowledge, he crafted a serum of sorts, made from the ash, that he injected into himself with a needle he stole from work. Whatever it was made his body feel, nothing, or well almost nothing, it was a familiar feeling.
While having this power, some of his veins and arteries appear much darker than normal.

Dawn's own self-perceived misery has now manifested into a mental block allowing her to believe that any injury dealt to her is nothing compared to what she's already gone through. While her life may actually one the brighter and positive side all things considered, its her own belief that allows this to work.
