Well... I learned that the splintering nova comes from a "source". Not just a source like perhaps the monster that may be devouring it, though I think that's the root, but from a person, and that person will lose memories and such more rapidly. If someone was infected by it - and the infection is random - then that person will spread it to others, and the only way to stop it is to...
[ a beat. his nose wrinkles, unhappily. ] ...remove the source.
[ like cutting off the leg of the plague victim - but that didn't work, in the end. xie lian really wishes this monster would show its face so he could beat it up - the jock solution to this problem is infinitely more appealing. ]
That was what happened with Claude a few weeks ago - what I thought may have been a curse someone put upon him was actually that he had been "infected", but the source was eliminated the next day. I asked about symptoms, but the person I spoke with said that it was random - and that it was hard for you all to necessarily sense it, or know in advance.
The person I talked to said that it was easier for our Leaders to communicate about this sort of thing if we were able to share information with them - that they could then talk about it, with the other Leaders.
...I won't, yet. I don't want to cause a panic - I would rather wait to see what happens this upcoming weekend. After that.

[ he nods, smiling faintly back. ]
... Yes. As long as there's even one person left to protect, it isn't over.

...Will it help you, if I share the information that I learned about the splintering nova? I did share my team with this person a few weeks back.

What is the information, exactly?

I cannot say, since I have not sensed it myself... but if you think that information will help others, you may do as you please.
