How did Kat get shot in Tenet?
When uninverted Kat got shot by inverted Sator in Tenet, in forward perspective the hole on the wall was fixed but Kat wasn't. What is the difference between Kat and the wall? Shouldn't they both get fixed after being shot? And if assuming this is how this universe works, in the airport sence the inverted protagonist got stabbed by an uninverted protagonist. Why did the inverted protagonist heal after being stabbed but Kat didn't?
Best Answer
Kat was not inverted when shot. Sator and the bullet were, though.
When Sator was shooting Kat, for her that was almost the end of being held hostage by him, but for him it was the beginning of it.
