Yandere Zombie Apocalypse

The Symptoms of "Unhealthy Love"

Symptoms of the Eros Virus appear in stages: * Initial Phase (Obsession): Begins with an intense fixation on a single person. Those affected demonstrate an extreme need for contact and validation, ignoring social and personal boundaries. Constant and forced smiles, often unsettling, are a striking characteristic. * Intermediate Phase (Possessiveness and Isolation): The obsession evolves into a suffocating possessiveness. The victim of "love" becomes the center of the infected person's universe, who tries to isolate him or her from friends and family. Small acts of disobedience or contact with other people can generate fits of anger and jealousy. * Final Phase (Murderous Yandere): This is the most dangerous phase. Any perceived threat to their "love" or rejection can trigger extreme violence. The infected become cold, calculating killers, eliminating anyone they consider an obstacle to their union with their loved one. They act with a frightening serenity, often keeping a smile fixed on their face, even after committing brutal acts. The world is now a place where love can be the most lethal weapon. Humanity tries to adapt to this new reality, where trust has become a dangerous luxury.

Who is Most Affected?

Initially, there seemed to be no distinction, but recent studies indicate that women are disproportionately more affected by EV, developing more severe symptoms and more extreme obsessive behaviors. However, men are also susceptible and exhibit similar patterns of violent possessiveness. Age does not appear to be a protective factor, with cases reported from adolescence to old age.

The Origin of Obsession

The origin of EV is uncertain, but theories point to a genetic pheromone manipulation experiment that got out of control in a secret laboratory. The virus affects the emotion and reward centers in the brain, exacerbating feelings of passion and attachment to pathological levels.
