We, The Infected

Interesting, especially the interior pictures of the pool room and the shower room. From outside pictures of the gym building and the pool extension, I had understood that there had to be a short flight of stairs between the washing room and the pool room because of different floor levels. The stair...

Oh well, there's always fan-fictions to read, that's something.

And to write, don't forget that!

Also because I half didn't expect JAL to include my question in the first place and hearing him mention and recognize my username made me very happy, but that's OF COURSE only of secondary concern.

Of course it is.

Technically, Johan didn't exactly lure Oskar there. Ávila was the one who first called and encouraged Oskar to come to the training, then Johan called to ask if Oskar wanted to do something the same evening (presumably to lure him to a place where Jonny and Jimmy could get him). Oskar was already p...

The part where it becomes obvious to Tommy that Eli “has done this before”, with the razor blade, makes me think there must be some interesting stories to tell in Eli’s not so distant past. I have imagined that Eli long ago had a helper who was a barber. In the old days, barbers not only cut hairs ...

... Although, the person could had simply been trying to preserve their privacy. But well, who knows. When I looked closer in the envelope there was a short letter from a person living in Blackeberg who'd known Oskar Eriksson very well. He apologized for wasting the police's time, that the whole th...

That's an interesting point of view. But I'm wondering, why do you think that it should be someone who wouldn't recognise Eli? You peaked my curiosity on that. Because the letter only mentioned Oskar. If the writer had recognised Eli he would have said so, I think. Furthermore, he would have expres...

I considered that idea as well and agree that it would've been a satisfying answer to the mystery, but the text specifies that it was a man. My translation: When I looked closer in the envelope there was a short letter from a person living in Blackeberg who'd known Oskar Eriksson very well. He apol...

Oskar and Tommy were indeed friends, right? Personally, I think Tommy was to Oskar the big brother he wished he'd had, and conversely, Oskar was to Tommy the little brother he wished he'd had. Oskar was twelve and Tommy was fifteen - just three years apart. Only a couple of years earlier they might...

Well, it's an interesting question, but I'd personally say no. I think it's still meant to be seen as something magical and unexplainable, and that the time the book spends on explaining the infection's biology is simply a consequence of the fact that JAL decided he needed to examine the practical ...
