[Accidental voice]

[The recording starts with a smashing sound, as the journal takes a nice snapshot of the ceiling and part of the underside of a kitchen table. Yuan's voice can clearly be heard nearby. He sounds rather disturbed.]

W-What the hell is this?!

[Action]

[A short while later, Yuan can be seen striding through the village with great haste. Every so often, he stops to cough mildly, before continuing on his way. His hands are buried deeply into his pockets and his gaze is stubbornly locked on the ground before him.

He's headed straight for Raine's house. Feel free to run into him before he gets there.]

Edit: [And after paying a visit to Raine's house, he'll head for Kratos' place. He's a busy man today.]

[He nods curtly.] It was most severe just after the fight. Then the symptoms slowly died down, until last week's Shift.

[You know. That Shift he doesn't want to talk about with Kratos. Ever. He may not remember himself, but if Kratos ran into him while he was under the influence of... that... Well, the mockery would be relentless.]

[The downward twitch of the lips indicate that, yes, he does remember last week's shift, and while Yuan's change in particular was hilarious, it reminds him of that twinge of hostility that still rests within him as he talks to Yuan now. Thousands of years of memories have mixed with his own, one set viewing Yuan as his best friend, and the other regarding him as nothing but a traitorous enemy.

Kratos lowers his gaze to his coffee and takes a sip, laying that bit of hate within him to rest.]

You had weakened in that state... Whatever struck you attached itself to you once more.

... There's more.

[He releases the mug from his grasp and removes the glove covering his right hand. A pitch-black stain is spreading across the back of his hand, towards his wrist. Perhaps it's more like a rash? Whatever it is, it's an eyesore. Yuan's just glad his Cruxis Crystal is on the other hand, because this thing looks like it may affect anything it touches.]

[Kratos' brow furrows at that. There was certainly a dark sort of energy coming from that, just like... Just like Aku. His grip tightens a bit on his mug before he loosens it once more.]

You have spoken with Raine of this?

I have. Healing magic has no effect on it and until we find out what we're dealing with, there won't be any other cure.
