[Sinclair scratches a few notes in his journal.] So...
Innis and Gorre --> very sudden infection. Winter had no prior contact with Cubia before Cubia started speaking to everyone --> bodies alive, mental strain was minimal comparatively? --> phases imposed upon rather than a slow takeover --> survived
Corbenik --> defeat --> dead in the other world --> Uta's death. Uta was particularly vulnerable after the news hit her.
Magus --> defeat --> body was alive in the word --> 0koto's death. 0koto's consistent defiance lead to his state degrading or being unable to hang on? 'Cursed'. Branding from Cubia's wave mark was clear on his face.
Hien: cursed shortly after the CCCorp meeting? Unable to reveal Cubia's identity even in his admin space. Admits to having no memories, nothing to replace them to make him feel like he lives anywhere or belongs anywhere unlike the rest of us.
[He wants to rip up the paper and throw it in the bin. He scratches over it with his pencil anyway]
I think the difference between you, Misteaks and Winter and then Hien is that you all had some memories to form an identity with, falsified or otherwise. Hien...doesn't. I didn't see 0koto after the meeting but if he went after Cubia, I'd imagine he was severely weakened even before you fought him.
