"Seth."
I looked up.
Maren stood a short distance away, watching me as the staff worked around the bed.
"What did he mean?"
"I... don't know."
It had been a while since I had been this speechless. So much so that I couldn't even think of any nonsense to say.
"He said you brought something here."
"I know, but as you can see, I'm not really with anyone."
My voice came out a little sharper than I intended.
I paused for a moment before lowering my hand.
"…I'm also certain there was no one behind me."
I had made sure with the sunglasses. Those were pretty good at telling me if there was an anomaly standing behind me.
'Most likely he's talking about the disease. I've been infected.'
Right...
My heart sank.
Maren looked towards the doorway before returning her attention to me.
"Did you see anything?"
"No."
She pressed her lips together.
I glanced back at the bed. One of the staff members was calling the man's name, but he wasn't responding.
