Amid the skeptical voices, the store clerk suddenly swayed violently and toppled to the side.

“Whoa” Archie instinctively reached out to catch her.

But when he met her bloodshot eyes, he was startled. He quickly backed away and hurriedly called for an ambulance.

The crowd, worried that it might be some infectious disease, backed away as well.

The ambulance arrived swiftly and took the clerk away.

Still shaken, Archie returned home and locked himself in his bedroom. He took a shower, deciding to postpone the visit to Nyx. If it really is contagious, wouldn’t I be putting Dear Sister at risk?‘ he thought.

He called Nyx to tell her about it. “They said it was due to getting caught in the rain–fever, vomiting. More and more people with similar symptoms are showing up at the hospital. They’re not sure yet if it’s contagious.

Theon and Erik stepped in front of Nyx, shielding her. “No.”

The sight of two men and a pregnant woman seemed to surprise the property staff, but they didn’t ask any questions. After taking their temperatures, they handed them supplies such as vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, seasonings, flour, and cooking oil.

Nyx compared their supplies to what others had posted online and noticed that not everything came from their neighborhood’s management. Some were part of a government–issued ration.

She thought maybe the anonymous warning had worked–officials seemed prepared in advance.
