The next day, school passed by normally until gym class. There, you got a first-hand look at Richard's virulence.
Everyone in the boy's locker room, especially the jocks, was scratching their crotches. Some were trying to be subtle about it, while others were loudly complaining to their friends. Cans of anti-fungal sprays and creams were everywhere. The school nurse had been notified, and there were rumors that the hospital was going to be running tests.
You were utterly blown away by all this, and you were at a loss as to how Richard spread so fast. That is, until the end of gym. You and the class had been doing laps in the pool, and everything seemed normal at first. Then, you took a closer look at the water. There you saw thousands of small white particles, drifting aimlessly in the pool. Fungal spores.
So, now you're sitting in a bathroom stall, with an itchy groin, trying to figure out a plan. The most obvious solution is to re-evolve Richard, but since he's infected so many people, you don't know how that will work. The other solution is to just let Richard be cured. But then he'd be dead, and you didn't want to be a murderer. You absentmindedly scratch your balls as you think of what to do.
