Rush

Notes:

- His sibling, only surviving family, and sole reason for clinging to life is Delta. Despite the misery of the plant-based contagion that had long overtaken his body and continues to crave more, he is terrified to die and leave them alone.
- He is kept in an isolated unit with a plexiglass wall allowing him to see the room beyond his chamber. Given how many spores erupt from each cough to leave his throat and how many seeds drop from the branches and flora growing out of his body, he knows it's for the best - the idea of infecting Delta horrifies him, he will refuse to allow them entry to his chamber unless they've triple checked their protective gear.
- Some of his scales and hide around his face had rotted away, but thankfully was able to be halted entirely thanks to treatment from Delta...but he tries not to think too hard about where they must've found that particular cure.
- Many a time has he fallen asleep resting against the plexiglass wall, either while waiting for Delta or in the midst of watching them mull about the room outside, talking to them. During the latter case, he would wake up with a start and hope they didn't think he'd passed mid-conversation.
- He wishes things could go back to the way they were, at least to the extent where his sibling was happy and he had control over his own body. He can't say he feels bad for some of those who had perished to the apocalypse, though the thought of anyone going through what he actively is chills him to his seeded bones.
- He knows Delta is keeping a significant amount of information from him, especially regarding where they go when they leave the bunker. He worries about them and tries not to think of what they could be doing out there.
- Often cries in his sleep. Sometimes he whimpers for deceased family members, other times he cries out for Delta.
