[ He's quiet for a moment as he looks for the best way to explain things as clearly as possible]

...I guess you can call Abnormalities 'cognitive monsters'. I told you before that an underground government funded lab was researching ways to push humanity past it's limits, right? Creating weapons. Super weapons. They discovered at the same time they could produce massive amounts of energy too that could be harnessed. Well...to do that, they needed subjects.

[ a quiet pause]

From what I could tell, they would put someone under an experiment. Many someones. And they would infuse their food, or air or something with a chemical. I don't have clearance to know the name of that chemical but...

Abnormalities are monsters born from the human mind, representing concepts - wishes and fears usually - brought into reality.

[He's quiet here]

... they're also born in situations of extreme trauma and distress. Because their existence is the antithesis to our own, most humans can't engage with them directly without losing their mind or being lured into their promises or threats. They don't have a reason to exist, but they know they must survive.

They'll do anything to survive.
