*Due to physical disabilities, Iggy is isolated for his own protection. He only knows his two brothers, Baine and Nansen, and their world within a brick wall, called New Eden. In spite of his overbearing brothers, Iggy sneaks out of his room and goes into the garden during the day, where he comes in contact with a strange woman. Before he can say anything to her, he loses consciousness, and awakens to her biting his face. As his only caregivers, his brothers save him from the woman, but they cannot save him from himself. Soon after the attack, Iggy is overcome with depression and craves nothing more than to end his own life. But then, a survivor arrives, and changes everything for the worst and the better.*
*Baine infects Iggy with the virus. Iggy's body becomes perfect in all ways and he is granted unique powers (umbrakinesis). Things are going well, until Iggy sees the color red and his thirst reflex awakens. It is all a matter of time before Iggy's bloodlust leads the F.U.S military to New Eden, to destroy everything that Baine has created. Especially the infected ones.*

She counteracted by leaning forward and closing the gap that he had left between them. “Sorry, I should’ve opened with that. I have a friend who is having a hard time-” 


 His hand dropped, his torso twisted, and he turned the music up so loud that the other voices upstairs were completely muted. “Alright, alright,” he sighed. “You know I swing both ways, so I’ll take care of you and your friend. Just give me a minute to go unwind. I’ll be in your bed.” 


 “Sure thing.” She flattened against the wall and he passed by her.
