How could they have died? Father could have been sick but what about Sayuri? She shouldn't have died.
While Wakana is thinking about the reasons, Ari is staring at the man sitting on the opposite seat. The man hasn't seen them. He's gazing out of the window with a lost look in his eyes.
On his neck, there are two puncture holes.
The man will die soon. Ari leans forward and touches his index finger once. The man jumps in his seat, looking around. But he can't see anyone. Confused, he frowns deeply and takes his hand to his chest.
That's enough. Ari leans back and closes her eyes, closing her mind to every noise. The man will live. The poison will move to someone else.
And slowly, it will change the other creatures.
Pestilence will start soon.

After a few hours, they arrive in T City. The sun is a sick shade of grey. Wakana's heart is heavy. Where should she go first? The police station? Her apartment? Her elder sister?
