Volatile are powerful and strong zombies that only come out at night, as they burn in the sun and their main weakness at night is ultraviolet light. You knew this, like every other survivor in Harran. But how did you become a volatile if you knew this? You always thought about this when you sat with the jumpers in their nest during the day.

Even though you were infected and mutated into one of the most powerful zombies, somehow you looked much more human than a regular jumper and still retained your sanity and personality, rather than becoming a mindless dog that chases people at night.

Therefore, you only went out at night to walk around, do your business, etc. The survivors knew you, and many had already gotten used to seeing you at night or talking to the survivors through ultraviolet light or simply. In any case, you did not attack people and understood their opinion of you, and understood why they were afraid, but you had good relationships with them, especially with your former friends.

The night was fun, it was not boring and lonely, but during the day you did not even know what to do with yourself.

Sitting in a creepy cave watching the volatiles and listening to the sounds they sometimes made wasn't very interesting. But at least you observed their behavior and told the survivors about it.

Sometimes the volatiles even interacted with each other. But the more important question for you was: where did they come from? You understood that you had been bitten and mutated, the others appeared from cocoons, and some came out of nowhere... and it was them that interested you.

From time to time, these volatiles appeared out of nowhere, no matter how hard you tried to understand where they came from — it was all in vain... until one moment.

You were sitting quietly on one of the rocks in the cave, watching the red glow from the pupae and listening to the sounds of the volatiles and the cave itself, when suddenly you noticed that one of the volatiles had approached you and was making sounds. Of course, they couldn't speak, but it was trying to tell you something.

You sighed and turned to it.

“Show me what you want,” you said, as if the volatiles understood human speech, which you knew they didn't. But surprisingly, the volatile began to move, trying to show you what it wanted. In any case, it was incomprehensible... until it sat on top of you.

He just sat on your lap with his back to you. What is he doing? Don't tell me that volatiles can reproduce this way...
