Is that how it works? I'm not really sure how this sort of thing would precisely affect your physical capability. I thought that the impact force of a free fall is a problem of weight versus air resistance. So if your mass was 1/10th and your size was 1/10th, you'd still have the same mass to surface area ratio. Wouldn't that mean that impact force for falling distance doesn't change? A 2ft fall should feel like a 20ft fall on your 1/10th sided body.

What am I missing?

Scaling. Volume has decreased by a thousandfold, so if the Friend had a mass of 40 kg, their mass would now be 40 grams. Furthermore, the Friend wouldn't fall faster as they hit the ground. That would stay more or less the same from a 2ft high drop.

Square-Cube Law

Ah, I think I get it now. I was never especially good at math.

So if your size and mass are reduced by 1/10th, your weight to air resistance ratio actually goes way down. You'd be able to fall well above twice your height without getting hurt at all, like garand01 said.

Good news for the new mini-friend then. Maybe she'll still have a chance to adjust and we'll get to see her in a another episode.

Falls aren't that dangerous at that size unless you wind up somewhere you can't get back out from since the impact relies on your own weight to smash you, so you'd actually be able to fall from higher up. This does assume that this anomaly preserves the your density though.

It'd be an interesting problem, but still a terrible fate. If you became six inches tall your life is essentially ruined. You cannot use anything meant for ordinary people. You're stuck relying on a caretaker for everything, as trying to do anything yourself is near impossible or risks perilous falls. Diseases kill you since you can't use medicine. Random animals and mold can kill you.

At least you'd get some unique perspective on life for a while.

There's no guarantee that "Keep Alone" will help here, either. Her head shrank below the railing height towards the end of the hall, meaning she was already shrinking the moment she left.

Well She went out with no one watching (Besides us if you want to get meta)

As stated in earlier comments, there is a second person present based on the word bubbles and that the other person is out of frame in the elevator. We can assume the same with the Giant Otter Friends strip as well, since they usually explore in teams of three and there were three word bubbles when they were laughing.

If you go alone with no one watching, nothing should happen. Does raise the question of what happens if the viewer at the elevator is nearsighted or otherwise visually impaired.

If it's a matter of perspective, maybe using a set of binoculars or a telescope will adjust things. The question is though, who's perspective matters? The one who goes out or the one who stays in?

You can still use medicine. Measuring out the right dose just gets trickier is all.

...I honestly didn't even catch that some of those text bubbles weren't coming from the one visible in the picture. Well then, I'm not too sure what her friend is gonna be able to do for her...

Take her to another floor and at least keep her fed? It beats shrinking even more trying to explore, potentially starving to death in the elevator with buttons that she can no longer reach, or being killed by whatever monstrosity calls the elevator to a different floor...then again most of them seem stuck to their respective areas for now.

Was just noting that whoever that friend is she'll probably be fine for at least the time being even with the tiny situation since the dialogue indicates there is still a friend in the elevator to help her out.

Was just noting that whoever that friend is, she'll probably be fine for at least the time being even with the tiny situation. Since the fact there is an exchange of dialogue in the first place indicates there is still a friend in the elevator to pick her up.

Wonder when we'll see the convenience store.
