Is this…
what late-stage Collapse Syndrome patients look like…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…This is not my first time seeing Collapse Syndrome patients like this.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…but no matter how many times I see it,
I can’t get used to it…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…will my dad also become like this one day?…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

grasp
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Hm?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Freya…?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…this is my first time fighting late-stage Collapse Syndrome patients.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Not to mention this is my first time seeing late-stage patients…
so I’m a bit overwhelmed…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Michele,
...Thanks for helping me.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
No, it was nothing!
We’re friends!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I think...
I understand what you mean when you say “Collapse Syndrome is even scarier and more terrifying than the Restoration Project."
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I’m not good at thinking about these complicated things, but I want to know more about Collapse Syndrome…
Michele, can you tell me more?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Freya…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I understand.
I’ll tell you everything I know.

Chapter 8

As expected of the facility built for this assessment,
it has all kinds of information.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

BEEP
.
.
.
.
Fyoom
.
.
.
.

.
.

A Strinovan’s body is like a hard drive.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Our consciousness and memory is like data, all stored inside a Strinovan’s body.
This stored data will continue to increase with everything we experience.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Compared to the average human brain,
a Strinovan’s memories stored in their bodies are not forgotten as time goes by,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But at the same time, Strinovans have a storage limit.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In a hundred years, a Strinovan will hit their consciousness and memory storage capacity limit,
leading to a breakdown of memory and consciousness…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So basically amnesia…?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Not just amnesia. This consciousness breakdown will also lead to a personality loss…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Or in other words,
they will lose their sense of self.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In the early stages, patients experience symptoms such as mood swings,
memory loss, and fatigue.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In the mid-stage, the patients’ appearances will change significantly, and they will be unable to distinguish between memory and reality.
.
.
.
.
.
On reaching the late stage, they will be like the patients we just saw: complete loss of self and indiscriminately attacking anyone in sight.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And after that…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
They’ll die just like that girl we saw…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Immortal Strinovans…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Will also reach the end of life.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yeah…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

BEEP
.
.

.
.
Right now, it has been less than a hundred years since the first appearance of Collapse Syndrome cases.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To prevent the situation from spreading, the Restoration Project was created…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I know a lot of people oppose the Restoration Project, but PUS’s original intent is not…
.
.
Clench

.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Then,
Your father is currently in…?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My father is currently in…mid-stage, probably.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
His physical appearance hasn’t changed much, but he’s already lost the ability to speak.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To prevent the situation from getting worse, he’s been put in a medical coma for now until effective treatment is found.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That…must be painful.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yeah…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
No matter what, I will find a way to cure him…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.

.
.
In conclusion! If we’re living in this world, we have to face Collapse Syndrome!
So I’m definitely going to do something about it!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
After all, I am a PUS investigator!

Also…
.
.
.
.
Sometimes sacrifices must be made to protect things. There’s no getting around it…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I think I understand a bit more now.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I was originally scared of PUS…
But thanks to you, I think my impression has changed.
.
.
.
.
.

Freya…!
.
.
.

FREYA~!

Hold on, Michele, that’s too close…
.
Clack, Clack
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Oh?
PUS’s PR talk seems to be quite effective!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wait, this isn’t PR talk!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I really believe that-
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah.
