Salutations, dear friend! Forgive the suddenness of this message, but I had an odd question. Before I get to that, though, I have to wonder! Are you living your mermaid dreams of deep sea caverns glittering with treasure?

[Well, this is a strange text to see in the middle of the night.]

Unfortunately, no. I seem to have joined the ranks of the undead. [As in, he was drafted into the skeleton war. Not that he'd freely give that information out.]

What of yourself? Surely, you know better than to ask such questions without reciprocation, yes?

[The experience of knowing Charles, tbh.]

Lol... It's not actually funny but I thought I was undead for a while. I thought my skin was rotting, but apparently that was just my brain being silly! I don't know what I'll be yet. Want to know the few indicators and make a bet?

[He's going to guess Charles doesn't like what he's becoming either, judging by the use of humor on an uncomfortable subject...]

I don't see the harm in trying. Shall we start with the state of your skin?

Not rotting~

Texture and toughness seems to be the same, but I do have spots along the sides of me. Dark grey.

Interesting. I'm no medical professional, but I know of a certain skin condition where parts of a human's skin lose their pigment, giving the afflicted individual spotted skin.
Your case seems to be the opposite of that.
Have you noticed any other changes so far?

You're thinking of vitiligo, right? These spots are much more regularly occurring in both size and pattern.

My teeth and nails seem harder. They're also sharper, as are my senses of smell, sight, hearing, and taste.

[Hm...]

Perhaps you're becoming some sort of animal? No offense, but if I remember correctly the more beastly monsters (e.g. manticores and werewolves) tend to have enhanced senses. While this could also apply to vampires, I don't believe I've known any with that sort of skin.
Have you noticed any behavioral differences?

What offense could I take? Animals are lovely... Unfortunately, I recall quite a number of monsters that are animalistic in nature.

I haven't, but it's possible they exist. The biggest behavioral difference was due to the band of monsters that played in that festival, recently, rather than this transformation.

I see...

[Oh dear. He'd seen the effects himself, but hasn't experienced them firsthand.]

Perhaps we'll have to wait and see what other manifestations crop up, won't we?

That's been my conclusion as well. Ah, but that isn't why I wanted to talk to you! I was hoping to discover some other kind of information.

[Not...really, he's got it sorted for the time being, but he wants to dip his toe in these waters with the other man anyway. So:]

Things here are quite different than back home for me, so I don't know how up to date their medication and treatment of mental health disorders are. Since you're an anthropologist~ I wonder if you might know something like that. Given how taboo it all is, I want to do my best to increase the odds of a positive outcome.

[Well, since there's no way to continue the discussion, Kiyo shall drop it and move on to the next topic...]

I do know there is a monster-friendly therapist employed at the Crowe Clinic, but I'm unsure of his actual methods. Other than that, it appears that the technology and culture of the peninsula seems to resemble Europe in the 1950's. I can only assume the insane are treated at psychiatric wards in hospitals rather than housed in asylums, but the treatment might feel a bit barbaric if you're from the 2010's.

Keep in mind, I've been currently studying Ryslig as a whole, and I've only been here for two months. Perhaps I could do some more research on the matter and get back to you?

[Part of him feels bad because he's wasting Korekiyo's time, already knowing most of this stuff and having secured a line to medication, at least temporarily, but...also he really would like for the guy to get some help good lord he needs help, just get some therapy while you're investigating, bro.]

That's more information than I expected, if I'm being honest. If you don't mind looking into it, I would appreciate it greatly, but it isn't necessary if there are more pressing matters for you.

[Kiyo kind of squints at that first line. He is a perfectly sane individual, what is Charles implying here?]

I'll keep that in mind if that doesn't seem too important to you...

Unless you had a different reason to bring up the matter.

[Just because he studies people doesn't mean he necessarily knows this part of people!! Charles is just impressed he had that much ready for him.]

Now now, I didn't say it wasn't important to me. You've given me enough that I at least have a starting point, is all. I'm interested in hearing more, but I wouldn't want to impose on your own studies.

Fair enough.

Why did you ask to begin with? Were you worried about being tortured by the medical staff?

Perhaps lol! Even my experience with modern medical care hasn't been the most pleasant and now we're in a time where mental health is even less widely understood.
