Is it cold in here?:

When you can turn a phrase like that you are either a writer or should be.
Welcome, dielicious! We have a lot of ESL speakers around with different skill levels.
A random thought is that even if Faye didn't need medical attention (Marten's not qualified to judge that of course) then it would still do her a different kind of good if Marten calls 911. Waking up in a hospital would be a cold splash of reality in her face.

Claire, being inexperienced and apparently quite insecure, might be a little shaken. I don't think she knows about Marten and Faye's pre comic 500 past, so when she DOES learn about that, she might start going down the same insecurity route Dora went.
And that's the moment Dora herself enters the picture and tells Claire not to make the same mistake she did.
I can see Pintsize's current situation being used to bring up a AI rights subplot.

Claire is aware of Marten and Faye's early relationship - as a matter of fact, it was summarized by Pintsize.

I think that there is something you might be missing in how those calculations are done.
(also, I'm sure Faye weighs more than 60kg, though I didn't in my hardest drinking partying days)

It's not a fifth, you're right. It's 535 millimeters. About 13 shots for a 75 kg person.
It's actually somewhat surprising that human beings survive anything, but in this case it generally takes some work to reach that level, and it does all have to be consumed faster than the liver can process it.
Around 13 shots per hour will give 50/50 odds of death for a 160-ish pound person. I'd guess Faye to be in the 140 to 160 range, so the fact that she's had more than a liter and a half, possibly more than 2 liters, is worthy of consideration.
Math is not that hard.
Quartsize:
This clearly opens the door for the return of Sarah, who Dora will hire as Assistant Manager. Faye will go with Angus to do arts in the city where she can sell arts. Just as the drama is set to peak the story will cut away to Emily for a day doing something that the kids would refer to as "totes cray cray."

That's great to know! I still really hope Marten explains the current situation so she doesn't get any wrong ideas.
Having your possibly best friend passed out on a pile of their own vomit is a reasonable reason to kill any date, sadly.
