Life Is Weird, So Am I!! Episode 11: Aires Virus
In the short break that we took, I remembered that Venom(Rohit) was lying unconscious in the auditorium.

Once the radiation is removed, it again becomes deactivated."
A lot of information to process but I caught on quickly.
"So this means this virus is harmless, unless exposed to radiation. And that radiation must be penetrating enough to reach the insides of the body, to the part where the virus is present." I said.
"Precisely." The doctor replied giving me a smile of appreciation.
"Then, how did I get infected? I don't remember particularly being exposed to such strong radiation. Chances of UV radiation being that...
