Allyson Bluestone; a young woman that is det...
It's been two days since the events regarding the Mt. Mitchell incident. Honestly, I don't know what happened after we went back to HQ. After all, I blacked out when I tried to squeeze the last remaining strength to fix Kleid's severed fingers and Charles' wounds.
I wanted to help Rachel, but I passed out.
When I woke up, I was in a confined room. I noticed the ventilator in my mouth, and I could barely move my fingers a bit. Also, there's this plastic dome around my bed.
Am I that dangerous?
I would've shouted for some response, but someone came into the room, so I couldn't see through the blurry dome. Large fingers soon peeked through the blinds, and this large green monster appeared, staring at me.
I noticed it was a femalewearing a different version of a medical outfit; a black medical planner in her left hand, and distinctly grumbling under her breath.
"Ragh, gurr gree."
Must've been her language.
By pinching a small button right below her chin, she miraculously spoke in a clear way I could interpret her words. The deep tinge isn't going away, though.
"Miss Bluestone, could you raise your hand, please?"
I did exactly what she told me to do, but raising my arm felt weird.
She checks something from her planner, then carefully removes the mask from me. The tube going into my throat vaporized immediately. Their medical equipment sure is bizarre.
She then gave me a glass of water as she explained what was going on.
"I am Lilibeth, the head nurse in this facility. As you can see, you've been diagnosed with a symptom common for Peculiars."

"It's called Dixianessis, a symptom, or rather you could call it an after-effect. Occurswhen a peculiar had used a large quantity of Dixis inside their bodies over a long period of time."
So I was right; it was indeed an after-effect.
"The symptom includes fatigue, a recurring nosebleed, or a sudden drop of temperature, which could prove to be fatal if left unattended. Most peculiars who had this either fell into a coma or worse-death. Through your case, it was fortunate your group was heading back to HQ."
Ugh. Dangerous indeed.
"I suggest you should take your time for your body to regain enough dixis."
