Oh, of course, though the symptoms do vary quite a bit from case to case so the ones that I can mention are the ones that I've experienced the most.
[ where's a good place to start...well. might as well go for the most obvious. ]
Psychological changes are notable than physiological ones since those end up being far more obvious—specifically changes in their attitude. In many of the cases that I've observed, the infected were reported to have become increasingly violent or despondent. In other cases—like we saw with Yuki—they would become lost in their delusions...
I once described the infection as robbing the identity of its host and always for the worse.
[Somewhat ironically, at least a couple of these symptoms are similar to something that circulated back home. Granted, that was a drug, so at least there was an obvious cause that could be removed once it was identified.]
Do they ever come back to themselves? Lynne seemed to be quite lucid, even if she was clearly stressed during the investigation. If there's a way to call them back even for a moment, it would be useful if one of us ended up face-to-face with someone in that state.
While I haven't been able to confirm here with how the infection has held on those who have not been subdued, I suppose if I was able to give them what I have now, it may be possible.
[ but are we all gamblers here? fran isn't. ]
Ultimately, I don't have experience that there's been a way to really call them back once they've gone through a full transformation...

Honestly though, this is probably the most appropriate place to talk about this.]
It's about Ludger. I heard you were one of the two monitoring his condition?
no subject
Oh, yes, I am.
[ hmm. ]
Though I'd say it's mainly me who is doing the monitoring. Why?

[Giyuu doesn't really count because they didn't know shit at the time and he died after a week!! (thanks naru)]
You can't exactly monitor him 24/7, right?
