Summary
After the Stellaron Crisis on Penacony and the failed resurgence of the Order, the IPC makes a deal with the Family that involves transferring the former head of the Oak Family to IPC custody. Unfortunately for Sunday, there are plenty of low-level grunts among the IPC's incarceration personnel who like to use their minimal power to make sure that they're not the most miserable people in the facility. Fortunately, though, a certain IPC executive steps in before it's too late.

Though Zhongli himself is ultimately able to suppress the virus, leading to the possibility of a cure, there is no guarantee that the Doctor would have any desire to cure them in the first place-- after all, even if he doesn't continue the experiment, he happens to have an associate who would be rather pleased to receive an exotic beast as a gift.
