Interlude 11h

11h (Anniversary; Panacea) is the eighth anniversary interlude for Infestation. Panacea gets a visit from Bonesaw and runs away from home and family.

Plot
Amy finds a letter about her father, her blood father, and thinks about the implications whilst being left at home with her adoptive father.

Bonesaw visits her and forces Amy to test her moral with some of her abominations, including those derived from deceased Brockton Bay capes and the former Nine member Hatchet Face.

There is a conflict of interests between Amy trying to hold true to her code and refuse the invitation and Bonesaw's amoral naivete and desire for an older sister.

However, Amy eventually chooses to Flashbang, interacting with his brain in order to do so, breaking one of her greatest personal taboos.

Bonesaw is eventually driven off, with Flashbang mercy killing one of her more tragic abominations, Murder Rat.

Amy runs away, but is intercepted by Victoria who hugs Amy despite her sister's protests, as she is aware of her own vulnerable mental state. In a moment of weakness Amy makes her sister reciprocate her romantic love, altering her psychology on a fundamental level. Victoria, fighting the change, reacts with revulsion at the perversion of her personality.

At the chapter's conclusion, Amy is truly distraught.
