"Alright, Ms. Banner. We want you to try and interact with the infected. Try to touch it. It can't harm you with the restraints. We'll be keeping an eye on your brainwaves during the process to try and see why the fungus has been affecting you differently."
At this, the redhead whipped her head up, with her eyes wide. "You want me.. to touch it? ..Why don't one of you touch it first, since you're so confident in restraints? Or is there a reason you're choosing to stay behind that window?"
OPEN.
"What's going on? Why is she in here?" Alex burst through the door as his eyes caught onto the girl standing in the room. "You don't have clearance to be in here, Mr. Laurier. Go tend to the other kids. Oh and, would you mind getting the other kid in here?"
"This is unethical. They are just kids, why are you putting them in such dangerous position?" Alex tried reasoning with the man, but ended up having to be pushed out of the room. "We don't need to explain ourselves to you. You're acting out of line. Escort him out."
"I can walk myself." Alex left the room, but not before taking a last glance at the redhead.
"....And if I refuse?"
"..Then we'll need to see if your sister is more willing."
GRIT.
APPROACH.
"Hi." The infected lunged at Ashlyn, tugging at the chains holding it back. Ashlyn backed away, and glared at the people behind the window. "I'm not touching it, this is stupid."
SIGH.
"Release the restraints."
"...What are you doing?"
"There are guards posted outside. If things get too dangerous, they'll step in. But if she dies, there's still 5 more kids, and her sister. I doubt they'll be any more willing than her to touch it, so might as well get it out of the way."
CLICK.
The infected was let out as it lunged at Ashlyn, who just barely dodged it. "What are you doing?!" She seemed to recognize the woman standing behind the window.
'It's her..'
'..What is she doing here? Why is she with them? ...From the beginning..'
The infected 'human' behind her grabbed her face, as it made the girl turn around, and get stuck under it. It kept pushing the girls head down.
