    • @@mimkyodar It's interesting how The Corruption and The End, at least in how they manifest, are at such opposite poles. The End is about the cessation of life, while The Corruption is about the abundance (one may argue the overabundance) of life, crawling and squirming though it is. While The End is not vindictive as such, if it came to a situation in which only one of these powers could win, I'd have to side with The Corruption. I choose life over death and nullity, even if the only life possible comes in the form of a tsunami of ever-loving bugs. Benoît seems to have found some form of existential joy before the servants of The Eye put a stop to it.

It was implied thats also why the old folks home was hit, lonely people who miss company. The man who was targeted after his wife and daughter died echoes con artists who prey on the bereaved. The avatar who was a soldier used compassion as a disguise to sucker others close to him so he could infect them.
