The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth

"We went to Safrin together," Koa confirms, nodding his head as he returns the ring to his finger. "Usually we've kept it with Zavien, but I already had suspicions for Sunjata, so I took it to have them confirmed." He hadn't wanted to do things halfcocked, not this time; hadn't wanted to come to Deimos without concrete proof.
As for how aware Sunjata'd been... "He said he didn't know, but also that he'd already spoken to Frey. And he certainly wasn't surprised." Not the way Ever had been, when they'd confirmed it with the gods. Koa can already feel a weight lifting from him as Deimos speaks about Remi and Ronin and seeing what can be done - clearly this was the right decision, now the 'adults' are involved.
Shaking his head at the question of how, Koa bites his lip. "My friend Everest is infected, too. I think Dahlia did it. Somehow." He shudders, imagining horrible syringes or weird brain worms. "I'm hoping to convince him to come get cleared up, too. But it's hard. People who are infected - they seem happy about it. Ever says it's made his life better. Helped his brain." Raising a hand to scrub his face, Koa sighs and shakes his head. "And... I dunno, maybe it has. But that doesn't mean it's right. Especially since he wasn't given a choice."
