The parasite wormed into the minds of hundreds, the contagion spreading into the thousands, until it was quarantined at the city edges. Its effect on the behaviour of the infected is remarkable. Kindness. Pure selflessness, even stripping away all self-preservation. The infected seek only to help people in any way they can. What the parasite gets from this, we can’t say, but its effects are obvious and startling. Already there is a discussion around if we really want to cure this.
