Notes from FX
What happened to Ragako village?
How and why did the people from Connie's village turn into ...
After the destruction of the wall, the Marleyans started experimenting with their advanced tech on the people of Paradis, which led to the injecting of spinal fluid taken from Zeke to an element which resulted in a mist formation across the entire Ragako village.
This shit was fucking hard...
