That's the plant.  It's white and without comfort because the drug is 
used up.  Then they wait until sufficient time has passed for safety, 
and take more of the plant.

Why do you say Marsch is switched, rather than replaced?  The new Marsch 
says "I needed to make my voice like his and look older". And the old 
Marsch was bitten by the cat, not by Victor...
