*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.*

 Derson didn’t bother greeting him. He tossed the bag onto the mattress next to the unopened one from the previous night, and stepped backwards until Iggy and he were both out of the room, again. He looked over at Iggy, who gazed through the window at the dark figure still spying on him from the corner. “That’s Simoun,” Derson said. “He’s far from being rehabilitated.” 


 Through the window Iggy watched Simoun cross the room. Simoun planted himself on the other side of the door where he could stare right back at them through the window. His smile was crooked and ill intentioned, yet Iggy stood there still as if he didn’t know any better. 


 “Any sane person wouldn’t want anything to do with the guy,” Derson commented. “Aren’t you at least a little bit scared?” 


 Iggy smiled. “No, definitely not.” He looked over at Derson. “These are the rehab rooms that Firmin mentioned yesterday.” He glanced around at the other closed doors. “Which one was yours?”
