Essentially. There's also something supernatural going on with the whole 'haze' thing, and Calico has a whole-ass monster arm. I don't think there's a contagious aspect to the defects, we saw an LEO in Edgeline without a mask, but maybe there is?

Also I'm torn on the use of flowers to represent blood. It's impactful visually and fits with the magical realism setting, but I also bet it's meant to comply with Webtoons' horseshit censorship.
