MY PARENTS ONLY LEFT ME ONE THING: At the beginning of the game place adjacent an Old Lace Bystander. When Old Lace would take damage, you may instead deal Gertrude Yorkes and Old Lace 1 unavoidable damage.

1.) If the old lace bystander would get hit with mystics TA, would that k.o. it?

2.) If the old lace bystander gets hit by pulse wave, but the Gertrude and old lace piece are outside the range, would its effect still trigger?
