*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.*

The rim of the glass came closer to his lips again. “A poor appetite is a bad sign, don’t you know? And you shouldn’t take this downtime for granted. You never know when you’ll get busy and be unable to drink, again.” 


 Iggy turned and let go of the glass simultaneously. She caught it easily without spilling a drop. “No, it’s a good sign,” he argued. He stood up and faced away from her. 


 Even so, her lips drew back and she smiled. “You already drink so little. Doesn’t it hurt you?” 


 Iggy shrugged his shoulders, then reached and grabbed the new shirt. “I’m used to it…” he sighed. “Besides, I was told to not drink anything.”
