I shrug. "I don't know, although I suppose it's too late now, right? But it doesn't matter, I remember this, I was just wondering where I needed to start."
I pull my knees up to my chest and wrap my arms around them, resting my chin on top of them. "My world... it was being destroyed by a virus. It infected everything: people, animals, AI systems, everything. Cities were destroyed, people were killing each other... and there was no antidote, nothing that could counter it. In the end, all we could do was evacuate the uninfected and leave the rest behind."
I rub my thumbs against my thighs uneasily. "I don't know what happened after we left. I would have thought there'd be some quarantine at least, make sure the virus couldn't get off-planet, but I don't know. And even if there was, I think something got past it." I brace myself, biting my bottom lip as I look sideways at him. "It's here. On Earth."
