This chapter follows Simba and Hari attending the Curse Purge. More information about Afflicted below:

The land of Sanitatum is said to be filled with magic and wonder, but it is also plagued by a contagious magical curse that threatens humanity's survival. It is the purpose of the heir to the throne, Simba Adofo, to inherit his father's crown and find a way to vanquish the curse he hates for corrupting his land.
However, when he finds himself caught in a web of lies to prevent his succession, he must team up with a cursed boy named Hari to unravel his kingdom's insidious past to reclaim his crown and cure the curse once and for all.
