Corpse Girl isn’t an Ex

“I don’t think she’s an ex. She’s just … dead.”
…
“I’ve run her blood work twice. I can’t find the ex-virus in her. Not a trace of it anywhere. Not a trace of anything, in fact. No secondary infections, no old scars, nothing. My first impression is she’s in incredible health.”
“Aside from being dead.”
“Aside from that, yes. She just seems like a normal seventeen-year-old girl in so many ways. Did you know she sleeps?”
…
“And when she woke up a few hours ago she didn’t know who I was again. Or where she was.”
