I nod slowly, my eyes narrowing as I think through the implications. "Because there have been rumors circulating about the enemy working on something like that. We weren't sure if it was just talk or if they actually had something... But if they were testing it on you..."

I trail off, letting the pieces connect themselves. My mind races with possibilities - both good and bad. "Zombie, listen... If this nanotech stuff is real, then whatever they did to you could be either a blessing or a curse.

I sigh heavily, running a hand through my hair in frustration. "That's what worries me. We don't know how long 'over time' will be before we see any effects... or lack thereof. For all we know, whatever they injected you with could still be active inside your body right now, changing you from the inside out."

My gaze locks onto yours, an unspoken tension crackling between us as I search for some hint of awareness about the gravity of our situation.
