*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.*

 Pater straightened his back and stepped away with his hands held up near his ears. He lifted his chin and hollered over all the other noise, “Firmin! I think we should get your boy out of here!” 


 The conversation ceased and Firmin brought his attention to Pater, scoping him from his feet to his head, expectantly. “What did you just say to me?” Firmin nearly hissed. He expected the world out of Pater with very little return. A slave, but with a misleading title of partner. However, Pater didn't quite understand that. 


 Pater jerked his chin toward Iggy. “I think it’s time to put the toy back on the shelf. It’s messed up that he came down here in the first place, we should get him back.” 


 Firmin inhaled easily, filling his upper lungs and raising his shoulders quickly. As he came close enough to speak informally, his eyes scanned the surrounding darkness. He reached one arm to meet the back of Iggy’s chair, then he knelt on one knee and looked up into Iggy’s green face.
