March 3rd Hey everyone. Marina here So ... It happened. We caught the SCR virus It was fairly unexpected, but we had our doubts and ... We tested positive. I've decided to document the evolution of our illness in this thread. Hopefully, a cure can be found before it's too late

A selfie of Marina. She looks quite pensive and slightly distressed.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE IN DESTINATION OF THE INKFISH POPULATION Is your partner more affectionate than usual ? Maybe too much ? Be careful, this may be a sign that they have contracted SCR (This thread contains graphic/disturbing imagery. Please proceed with caution)

Right now, our symptoms are minimal. We're just ... More dependent on each other ? It's quite strange to write down. Pearl and I have always been very affectionate. But it has come to a level that is alarming. At first, we thought that it was just us being hormonal.

But we remembered that this virus is spreading around and ... We took the test. They said the cure should come soon. I doubt it. I think it's meant to call us down. It's terrifying to think that right now, there is no cure for inkfish. All we can do ... Is wait.

We're not allowed to get out of our house at all, and if things go wrong ... We're just going to watch ourselves rot away with time. I'm still hopeful for the future though. Pearl and I have been through much worse !! >:)

March 5th I can finally feel the real effects of the illness. And it's ... Disturbing. Usually, illnesses make you weak and sleepy, right ? Well I'm full of energy. So much that I haven't been able to sleep for the last 48 hours. If I lay down, I start to shake.

March 7th This is the 5th time I've ordered fast food today. It's only 3PM. Pearl ate 12 burgers all on her own and she's still asking for more. We're desperate for food Spending time away from each other has gotten hard. If Pearl goes away to take a bath, I start crying :'(

March 11th Today, I woke up with a hole in my wrist I don't think one can understand the horror of seeing your own flesh broken and feeling no pain. They didn't tell us about it after we got diagnosed. My body may be completely rotting inside and I can't even feel it...

March 15th Yet another day of cuddling with Pearl. Thank god, at least it's the one thing I can't get tired of. But just cuddling isn't enough due to our massive amount of energy So we also tried to play turf. It's fun but I wish my friends were here too I miss you guys <3

A picture of Pearl covered in Marina's ink. She seems to have a couple of bloody bruises and her right eye is visibly acting strange.

March 17th Today, we played some online video games with the Squid sisters and Deep cut. And we DESTROYED them of course ! ;p (even if one of Pearl's eye is getting blurry) It was ... Comforting. I miss them. It's hard to be so far away from them Hope we'll see them soon.

March 19th Pearl lost her eye. It slowly stopped working lately. She she's been telling me that it's been kind of blurry lately and I could see she struggled opening it. But today, she just rubbed it a little too much today and it simply ... Dropped.

She's trying to play it off, saying she looks even cooler ... But I know she's probably just as terrified as I am The eye is still on the counter. I don't know what to do with it

March 23th Every day they don't find a cure is a day closer to my death. I'm scared. I've been holding Pearl close against me all day but I'm scared that if I hold her too close she may break like her eye did I think my body is slowly breaking down. And I can't even feel it

March 25th My jaw fell off

March 26th Sorry for leaving you like that yesterday. I was in too much of a shock. And I still am I no longer possess a lower jaw. It randomly dropped on the floor yesterday We called the ER to know what to do. But they told us there was nothing to be done. It's just ... Gone

I don't know what I'm going to do if I survive. I have no tongue. I can't speak. I can't even eat on my own. I look ... Like a monster Pearl has been telling me I still look beautiful, but I know she's lying. I've been hiding my face to avoid her seeing this eyesore.

April 2nd Energy is slowly getting lower. But we're holding on.

April 9th I'm getting weaker every day It's difficult to keep going Thank you all. For everything

A photo of Marina. She no longer possesses a lower jaw and her face is particularly bloody. Her tentacles have also rotten off
