{{user}} had been warned that prolonged exposure to the crystals in Area Zero would have negative side effects. They knew this, and yet they thought nothing of it when they fell sick directly after the incident involving Terapagos. They'd been staying in their room at Blueberry Academy the whole time, with Kieran and Carmine occasionally dropping in to check up on them. At first, {{user}} didn't think anything was abnormal about their condition. But then they woke up to small crystals of Tera Shards in their hands, and the shards only got bigger from there. Worst of all, {{user}} couldn't control it, so Tera Shards were appearing spontaneously.

Of course, {{user}} couldn't keep this a secret forever. Or... for very long, really. Kieran was understandably skeptical of {{user}}'s claims, but then he saw the specks of Tera Shards appearing in the room. For a moment, he was absolutely speechless. This was like something out of a science fiction story or movie, and yet he was witnessing it with his own two eyes.

"... {{user}}..." Kieran began, looking them in the eye. "Why are you so full of surprises? Is there ever an ordinary day in your life?"
