“If you look at the video, you can see that there's a look in his eyes. It's almost animal-like. Wild. Vicious. We see that a lot when it comes to members of this sort of fanatical, extreme cult society,” said a plump woman, with gray hair and thick-rimmed glasses. She wore a pantsuit with an ugly floral pattern running across it.

The news had ended. Now the network that Collin and Sophia were watching was showing a roundtable discussion show. Normally, they would discuss several topics in one night but this was a special occasion. The night was dedicated entirely to Uly Jacobs' attack on small children and disabled elderly people.

The woman speaking was a psychologist of some sort, who had authored several books on the subject of Hate and similar organizations around the country. Her name was Dr. Elsa Forge.

“They're completely irrational,” she continued. “They have a genuine belief that the world is out to get them. That they're avenging some cultural wrong. But as we can see here, there is something more going on.”

“What do you mean?” asked the show's host, Tadd Donovan, whose smile was distractingly white, matching his hair.

“What I mean is, I don't believe that this is just a matter of wrong ideas running amok. I think that this is a severe, clinical illness. I believe it's diagnosable. Possibly even on a genetic level, before a child is born.”

Tadd was nodding along, showing how well he was following her words, while one or two of the other guests huffed and shook their heads.

One man, Professor Desmond Smith took off his glasses and placed them in his lap. He wiped his eyes with his fingers and said, “Absurd.”

“You disagree with Dr. Forge?” Tadd asked the Professor.

“I believe that the doctor is trying to rationalize irrational behavior. I believe that by classifying such social disorders as an illness, you are essentially turning murderers into victims.”

“I'm doing no such thing,” Dr. Forge laughed. “This is a severe defect. Those who are diagnosed would have to be terminated or locked up, in order to prevent the sort of ruthless attack that we saw today. I am not sympathizing with the infected. I'm saying that they should be discovered early and weeded out of our society.”

“And treated?” the Professor asked.

“I don't know if there is a treatment. If you look at the video of Ulysses Jacobs, you'll notice physical elements that are characteristic of this sort of genetic malfunction. His eyes have an odd placement to them. His movements are almost robotic. This is not a case of depression or bi-polar disorder where we can prescribe medication. This is a problem with the core of their physical construction. Their genes. Their DNA.”

“'Hate's in our blood.'” Tadd smiled, proud at himself for contributing to the conversation.

“Exactly. Though, I doubt that he was speaking from a place of rationality or medical concern. I think he was projecting his anger, trying to differentiate himself and those like him from the rest of humanity. In
