The Seventh Stage was a diagnosis type of stage. Diagnose those infected by the previous stage, Kill them? Separate them? Group up?
[Kindness]'s Vision completely twisted everyone's sight.
First the Vision dehumanize people with the way it shows people as flayed creatures.
Second it grants sight that when one open their eyes their whole mind was in a state of confusion, pressure and fatigue.
Third because of the Vision one could see thought the infection, the decay in people's body and watch its multiplication and growth.
The Guides are a personification of complex concepts, A few people would want to learn more about them like historian trying to piece together pieces to understand the whole and Adriel sadly wasn't a fan of it.
He did know that the most terrible of them was [Red] also could be called [Bravery], the most mysterious was [White] most aloof was [Black]
"RACINE!" Adriel spun around his eyes towards Racine who was vomiting faraway, Lyka rubbing circles on his back.
Adriel was already on the move, when Madonna tap his shoulder and hand him a small stainless thermos bottle, "We can't lose such a precious child now shall we?"
'So that's why she approached me' Adriel took the bottle from Madonna's hand feeling the warmth inside it.
"That brat was infected wasn't he?" Adriel asked and like a switch had been turned on, A pain similar to having soap in your eyes make Adriel's eyes twitched rapidly once more his eyes scanned the crowd and floods his head was rapid information that slowly suffocates him as he continued.
Then he saw it amidst the crowd of flayed bodies was countless people who got something wrong with their bodies, a lump that shouldn't be there, A bone that shouldn't grow that way, Rot, decay and thick phlegm.
Then his eyes landed to Evelyn who was sweating heavily right thigh had a deep cut the flesh around it covered with decay, a few light-brown small cylindrical tubes with mouth hooks wiggle around her wound.
Leonor hold Evelyn's hand in so strongly that Adriel could see her muscles contracting, Elesio who had not shown herself a lot was coughing her father placing a wet towel on her head as she lay down a thick yellow phlegm blocking her airways.
Adriel grimaces at the grotesque seen he saw, Cristina was slicing around Alex's rotting body parts and Adriel watched the creation of a bone, then nerves with blood vessels after it was muscle and Adriel didn't bother to see more.
Lastly his eyes finally landed on the original spot he was planning to gaze on and he feel so disgusted when he saw just how terrible Racine's condition was unable to stand it any longer, "ENOUGH" Adriel shouted so loudly that even Madonna who was still beside him flinch.
Adriel's sight became normal again, it wasn't as sharp as it used to be but it was much better alternative.
Adriel turn to Madonna, "Do you have enough of this?" He shook the thermos in his hand.
"It would be" Madonna replied her eyes showing a glint of madness within them.
'She would surely be stingy with her makeshift cure. She probably would refuse those she deemed worthless'
"Give some to my allies" Adriel whispered to her, his eyes lingering on Evelyn, "You had my word. They are the best of the bunch"
Madonna smiled, "You don't have to convince me about anything. I too found them precious"
Their conversation ended with that and so Adriel walked towards his brother, while walking he saw a few people giving to curiosity and opening their eyes, stagger, turn blue, scream and close them again.
Soon Elesio step forward in front of Adriel her voice weak, "I can't do it any longer..." Her voice cracked, "About 83 percent had already recovered their hearings....I also" Elesio coughed, "I also informed them that i can't send transmitions for a while" She coughed once more this time more aggressive, "I apologize"
Adriel patted her head, "It's fine. You did fine" Adriel then pointed at Madonna's group, "Go there and ask for some soup, bring some for Evelyn too"
Elesio nod her head and walked past Adriel.
Lyka raised her head towards Adriel now that he was close Adriel realized that Lyka wasn't rubbing circles on Racine's back, she was writing on it with her fingers.
'BROTHER' She wrote on Racine's back with her fingers.
"You're not affected?" Adriel bend down beside them he asked Lyka, Racine snapped towards Adriel's voice his eyes covered by a white cloth courtesy of Okarina.
Lyka grinned, "I was used on always being as high as a kite this whole ordeal was like a random tuesday to me" She explained her eyes looking closely to Racine, "I was born high its like my natural state also this guy"
Lyka ruffled Racine's hair making Racine slap her hand away, "He can't hear shit, a healer did come by to heal him but it don't work"
"Stop it!!" Racine shouted.
"That sucks" Adriel said and he too begun to use his fingers and wrote on Racine's back the words, 'Adriel' after that Racine moved his hands around which Adriel took and place down.
"Adriel?" Racine murmured.
"Racine" Adriel called his brother, He then twist the cap of the thermos he was holding. a smell of nice tasting soup wafted to the air, its steam making one's mouth water.
Racine squirmed under the smell, His face showing clear distaste, Adriel poured the soup on the bottle cap and press it on Racine's lips.
The bottle cap flew into the open air its contents spilling into the ground, Racine's left hand cracked a drawback to slamming it to an awakener's reinforced hand.
"What are you doing!!?" Racine shrieked, he tried to stand up but slammed his head into Lyka instead, "What's happening?"
"Chill out!" Lyka tried to hold him in place to wrote her words once more however Racine struggled free from her in deep distress.
