It’s a rare mental illness in the world of the novel (which is a bit sci-fi), but IDK if that is the term in the original Chinese or it if was a bold choice by translators. I have to think it’s the original author’s choice because WHAT A CHOICE for a translator, but it takes me out every time. They haven’t gotten much into the mechanisms of the disease, so maybe it develops in a similar way? IDK, and to be honest, I’m not invested enough to look up the background for it.
