#08 THE CORRUPTION SYNDROME (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corruption syndrome may be transmitted by several ways.

- One of them is a mental breakdown. This is admitted to be one of the reasons Nynthixia got affected, since the person who would have "infected" her is currently unknown, but is at least recognized to not be Tei since her date of first symptoms was way anterior to the day she met Tei on 2014. Her breakdown went even more severe on February 2016.

- Another way is to have the "disease" natively. This is the case for MAYU and Tei. This may be caused by brain development issues, but the case is currently unexplored for most of it.

- The last way is to contaminate others with infected serum. This serum is generated from what is called "mental essence". It is part of people's auras and can be liquefied under some pressure. After that, it still remains in a liquid form and doesn't go back to a gas one. This is how all the others got infected. The mental essence can be launched at other people (what happened with Bibi or Wistaria for example), transmitted by skin contact (Xin Hua's case) or directly injected into blood (other cases).
