Paranoia. Cassandra is constantly wracked by paranoia and guilt. She doesn't sleep well. Her dreams are unpleasant. The pain is bad. Everything from itching to phantom limb. Only being around Rapunzel helps.
Rapunzel herself feels guilty and helpless she can't help Cassandra's condition. Her song won't make the taint leaver her skin, and every day it gets worse.
Eugene looks like a shipwreck survivor. He doesn't groom himself or bathe. He rarely sleeps. He spends every waking second tracking them. He's gotten pretty good. He's become obsessed. It's not just heartbreak. He has to know why when she saw him, it was like that first moment in the tower. He has to know.
Don't know if under her clothes Cassandra has patches of rot, or withered blackened skin, or if she looks like an unfinished haddock with exposed obsidian bones
