The logs stated that Desire River Company's scientists had attempted to experiment on the people they had selected for having the strongest bodies and firmest wills, activating the energy within the anomalous tissue they had collected by chance.
They then guided that energy into the test subjects' bodies. Most of them went mad and died, but a small number survived and gained extraordinary powers.

"So the anomalies in this world were most likely born from human hearts? And humanity was in turn enslaved by the collective manifestation of its own negative emotions, creating a new cycle?"
