Okay, so then suppose a player has Rapid Healing, one health, and two energy. The player is attacked for two damage. Can the player go to zero damage (not below), then use Rapid Healing (after elimination) to revive at one health? I say no, but my wife seems to think that "at any time" means after dying. Now, I'd be fine with letting the healing be played as an interrupt (MTG style) if it was enough to prevent death (like spending four energy in the example given), but I feel like the interpretation above is flawed.
Dead is dead. Once she admits to going to 0 (or below) she is dead and it is too late to do anything.
If it helps, the King of New York rules has this in the Glossary section:
"Eliminated: Having 0H (or fewer)." Which means that negative HP is a thing.
