[ There's the urge to squirm, move away from the hand on his arms, but Thomas keeps himself still enough for Daryl to look over the proof of what he'd said. As rough as this guy seems, it acts more smart than anything else. Reminds Thomas a lot of Alby, how abrasive and harsh he was, but there wasn't a doubt that Alby knew what was going on around them best. And how to keep the others safe from it.
It's surprising, though, that there's that trace of gentleness in it. That's not something he's terribly used to, with the kneejerk response always being to distrust it these days. But Daryl's in the same boat as he is, here. ] Don't even need a bite. The Flare's airborne.
[ He mutters, stepping back, as his mind's already jumping to the same page Daryl's on. If he's certain what they're talking about is dead, and something as severe as a bite doesn't pass it, when the Flare only takes being breathed in, that can't be the same thing. 'Cranks' is a term everyone in his world knows, and then there's the case of Newt... How he should be dead, how he remembers things differently. All of it's just... different. ]
Yeah... I dunno. How'd it start? The Walkers? [ Cogs are turning, Thomas's natural want to solve the problem sinking in. ] For us, solar flares hit. Everything around the equator, between the tropics, was fried. They call it the Scorch. A containment facility was destroyed, and the virus got out. It deteriorates the brain, and over a few weeks, you go whacker. They're still alive, they just... don't look like it anymore.
