No one I was particularly close to was overtaken before I was killed at the party.

However, I did have conversations with some of them while they were. [It can't bring itself to say the word 'possessed', right now. Perhaps because talking with Max, it's thinking of them as 'infected', as if by malicious code.] My choice to not immediately kill one of them led to him passing word among them that I was a potential friend. This was, of course, before he started killing people himself.

[Which is a whole other weird bag of fish.]
