So it's the same stand type as Crazy Diamond

[@YoungLeosword]

He may have received a adrenaline surge from his pinkie breaking, which unconsciously activated Red Hot Chili Pepper and supercharged Otoishi’s bioelectricity into gradually fixing his pinkie over the course of a couple seconds, which was probably just a tear in the tendons or cartilage or shit, as most digital injuries often are. :3
