Data from the COVID Symptom Study, which uses an app into which millions of people in the United States, United Kingdom, and Sweden have tapped their symptoms, suggest 10% to 15% of people-including some "mild" cases-don't quickly recover. One group in Italy found that 87% of a patient cohort hospitalized for acute COVID-19 was still struggling 2 months later. The likelihood of a patient developing persistent symptoms is hard to pin down because different studies track different outcomes and follow survivors for different lengths of time. Ongoing problems include fatigue, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, achy joints, foggy thinking, a persistent loss of sense of smell, and damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain. The list of lingering maladies from COVID-19 is longer and more varied than most doctors could have imagined. Akrami has been waiting more than 4 weeks to be seen at one of them, despite a referral from her general practitioner. Outpatient clinics for survivors are springing up, and some are already overburdened. Thousands echo her story in online COVID-19 support groups. "Everybody talks about a binary situation, you either get it mild and recover quickly, or you get really sick and wind up in the ICU," says Akrami, who falls into neither category. She's had just 3 weeks since March when her body temperature was normal. But rather than ebb with time, Akrami's symptoms waxed and waned without ever going away. For weeks, she struggled to heal at home. Her early symptoms were textbook for COVID-19: a fever and cough, followed by shortness of breath, chest pain, and extreme fatigue. Now, "My physical activity is bed to couch, maybe couch to kitchen." "I used to go to the gym three times a week," Akrami says. At University College London (UCL), Akrami's students probe how the brain organizes memories to support learning, but at home, she struggles to think clearly and battles joint and muscle pain. Life for the 38-year-old is a pale shadow of what it was before 17 March, the day she first experienced symptoms of the novel coronavirus. She says that if he has done reprehensible things she hasn’t seen, then he must be stopped, and she will help stop him.Science' s COVID-19 reporting is supported by the Pulitzer Center and the Heising-Simons Foundation.Īthena Akrami's neuroscience lab reopened last month without her. She says that more than anyone else, she knows what he is like, but her resolve seems to have faltered upon seeing Naofumi’s face when he says Kyo’s name. She eventually became very close friends with him, and looking to support him but lacking intelligence, became his bodyguard.

The two met as children, with her calling Kyo a strange child, but admittedly enjoying talking to him.

The two then begin talking, with the conversation eventually shifting towards Yomogi and Kyo’s childhood. Kizuna lets Yomogi out of her cuffs, telling her to sit down as she walks out with fresh tea. Perhaps this is meant to foreshadow the additional companions of Kizuna’s group that are yet to be introduced. A picture can be seen in the house with the five present, but two other characters in the pictures with their faces blocked.

Now by themselves, Yomogi and Kizuna enter the home, which is revealed to be where Kizuna, L’Arc, Therese, Glass, and Ethnobalt all live.
