Apparently people have been getting icky trypophobia feels from that last pic so I tagged it… although no, his face isn’t actually covered in holes. That would be way too gross hahaha

The dots are a sort of skin rash caused by the ghost virus (many real life viruses cause rashes too) and it tends to spread under certain conditions. Design-wise the rash is meant to give the spooky form a more “diseased” look so people wouldn’t confuse it for some random magic thing. There’s weird shit in this comic but it’s not magic!
