Madness Quotes in The Kill Order

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

But as they walked away, he was pretty sure that the girl had been singing. She'd snapped, he thought. She'd definitely snapped. (13.46)

Singing: not the sanest thing to do when you're not feeling well. The Flare has a lot of symptoms; your head hurts, you start acting strange, and you get really angry. But singing might just be one of the most common ways to depict a crazy person.

Quote #2

His first instinct is to panic and scream and wander blindly about. But it's a brief moment of insanity and it passes. (14.13)

You don't need to have the Flare to go crazy—remember, the sun-flares were so devastating that madness was everywhere even before the virus was released.

Quote #3

Her tone seemed way too… calm for the circumstances. (23.29)

Another symptom of the Flare: a lot of the characters seem to lose emotion when they're infected. This might just be one of the worst ways the Flare affects the brain.
