\#"Kubel's Disease"
\#The name derives from a demon called Kubel who controls
\#demonic snakes. Symptoms include a lump forming on the 
\#neck that looks similar to a snake. Its origin is unknown.
\#When someone contracts it, they experience hyposthenia and 
\#hemiplegia, which then leads to organ failure. Eventually 
\#the patient dies.

\#As if symbolizing the progress of the disease, the lump on the
\#patient's neck slowly extends around the neck.

\#By the time the patient dies, a black ring forms around 
\#the patient's neck, as if a snake had choked them.

\#Thus, another common name for it is The Black Choker.

Cero:
You become paralyzed. Next, it gets your organs...
and you slowly choke to death. 
Magetano:
The most terrifying thing about the black choker is that
healing spells and medicine won't work.
Cero:
Ugh... So, you're dead as soon as you catch this thing.
Magetano:
That's how it was 30 years ago. Now there is a way to
deal with it.
Cero:
Oh, so there's a cure for it now?
Magetano:
Calling it a cure might not be the right term.
Cero:
Hm?
Magetano:
Turns out the black choker wasn't a disease but a curse,
so dispel might be the more appropriate term.
Cero:
A curse... I see. No wonder healing spells and medicine
didn't work.
Magetano:
So!
Magetano:
The funniest part about it is how you dispel it!
Wanna hear about it? You do, right?
Cero:
I don't think there's anything funny about a fatal disease.
Why do you sound so upbeat about it?
Adventurer-like Man:
Hey, kid! You're in the way. Don't just stand there in
the middle of the bridge.
Cero:
Ah. I-I'm sorry!
Fat Adventurer:
I can understand that you're excited about being on a date,
but you shouldn't cause trouble for others. Geesh!
Adventurer-like Man:
Move already!
We're in a hurry here!
Cero:
Ouch!
Magetano:
Hey!!
Magetano:
I'm sorry that we blocked the bridge, but you 
didn't have to kick him!
Cero:
M-Maget, wait. It's okay.
Magetano:
Leave this to me!
Adventurer-like Man:
It's his fault for dawdling, almost like he wanted me to kick him.
Magetano:
That's because he's a slowpoke! 
Anyways, apologize to Cero!
Fat Adventurer:
That's a bit harsh to say about her own boyfriend...
Adventurer-like Man:
Why should I be the one to apologize?! Keep this up and
I might kick you too, wench!
Magetano:
Try me! You chose the wrong person to pick a fight with.
Magetano:
I'll burn you to a crisp until you apolo-
Cero:
I-I'm really sorry! I'll be more careful from now on!
Cero:
Come on, let's go, Maget!
Magetano:
W-Wait! I'm not don-!!
Fat Adventurer:
The heck was all that about...?
