Soon, the virus isn’t just an unknown illness, it has a name: the Flare. Those originally infected with the Flare through this method had a quick death. The next group of people who caught the virus show different symptoms, instead appearing normal and sane for a period of time. After a day or so, the infected person will start to feel pain in their head, often times claiming of something living inside their head. As more and more characters throughout the story that have been exposed to the Flare as it’s mutating, we can see that it affects people in different ways, giving them severe mood swings, making them prone to violence, and creating cults. As the story progresses, people that have been exposed to the Flare have longer periods of sanity. Our main character, Mark, even admits to himself that he has the Flare after going into a murderous rage. This would show that some people will switch between sanity and insanity for periods of time. This can make it difficult to remain on track, and to listen to logical
