“…I don’t blame you for fighting to survive, of course! It’s what all of us in this building are doing, what this institute’s purpose is made for. Fighting to survive. My researchers and I against you.”
“I’d like to think a few of us could’ve gotten along, if Death’s hands didn’t come to grab and tear away each and every one of us… I detest it for that, and I detest it for causing this breach.”
…
“You’re all cutting your life short in your bid to live, and I wish your fate wasn’t so pre-determined. Forcing me to take your life to add to mine too early, rushing me to get more anomalies afterwards. You’re only hurting yourselves.”
“You’ll try to see which of us in all these different shapes and forms are the ones who want you dead in order for us to survive, and you’ll hang our necks until whatever form our legs take stops kicking. We’ll stab each of you in the back until your innards stain each of our knives.”

Anomalies Properties (Physical): Upon the Head of the Day’s End Institute (myself) making a wrong call of his capabilities, he unconsciously spreads a “plague” of freezing upon Institute staff, significantly harming their digits and slowly removing any chance of us using a counter ability we could use against him or other anomalies.
Anomalies Properties (Mental): None.

Danger Level: High
Breach Risk Level: Anomaly tries to make it hard to find out any information regarding him. Thusly, he should be considered high risk.

“The message isn’t the attack. It’s the origin.”
Whenever I Close My Eyes, I See You… “Astika”. - [Passive]
If you are anti-claimed by a member of the Counter-Breach team, each night from now on, a member of their team is inflicted with the “Frozen” status effect on a non-frozen ability, until all remaining members have all non-factional abilities frozen.
“Frozen” disables that user’s ability until the afflicter’s death.
They learn of the existence of the Frozen status effect and that it will continually effect them, but not the cause.
If you are ever successfully anti-claimed, all “frozen” status effects are removed. Then, this ability locks.
